Rapid KL On-Demand service expands to four new zones
THE Rapid KL On-Demand van service will be expanded to the Kuala Lumpur central business district (CBD) as well as education corridors in the Klang Valley starting Monday as a strategic move to enhance urban mobility. In a statement on Friday, June 27, its operator, Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd said the new zones are the Kuala Lumpur Central Business District (CBD), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) MRT-IOI City Mall, Kelana Jaya LRT-Taman SEA/Damansara Jaya and Gombak LRT-Taman Selaseh/International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). 'One of the main zones introduced is the CBD zone, covering the Golden Triangle area, namely Jalan Imbi, Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Raja Chulan, which will be served by nine vans,' it was quoted as saying. The service expansion further aims to provide a smoother and more responsive last-mile connection for commuters travelling from rail stations or major bus stops to their final destinations in the city centre. 'With heavy traffic congestion and limited parking in the CBD, this service offers a user-friendly micro-mobility solution and supports efforts to transform Kuala Lumpur into a transit-oriented city,' the statement added. Beyond the city centre, the service is also being extended to educational corridors such as UPM, IIUM and nearby schools to facilitate safer, more organised and flexible access for students, lecturers and staff. According to Prasarana Malaysia Berhad group chief operating officer (Operations) Amir Hamdan, the introduction of the new zones reflects the company's commitment to building a public transport system that is not only inclusive but also responsive to user needs. 'Our city centre zone is designed to tackle the 'first/last-mile' issues faced by commuters in the country's busiest areas, while the education zones focus on the daily commuting needs of students and academic personnel,' he stated. 'This marks the second-last rollout before the full deployment of all 300 Rapid KL On-Demand vans by early July 2025, representing another milestone towards a more sustainable and comprehensive public transport system.' The Rapid KL On-Demand service guarantees a reserved seat and operates daily from 6am to 11.30pm via the Rapid On-Demand app, available for free on Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The promotional fare of RM1 per trip remains in place. ‒ June 27, 2025 Main image: Bernama
