News & Reviews:   Rapid Bus

For the average user, more is not always better, at least not when it comes to booking apps. Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd clearly agrees with this sentiment, as it has announced a plan to streamline its booking applications.

In tandem with the launch of its new Rapid On-Demand booking application, Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd, operator of Rapid KL On-Demand service, will roll out 13 additional coverage zones starting today (9 June 2025). The service is expanding to include 11 new zones around MRT stations.

Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd (Rapid Bus) recently shared that it’s projecting savings of up to 30 per cent in maintenance costs and more than 50 per cent in energy costs with the full adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) by 2037. Its CEO, Muhammad Yazurin Sallij said that this was based on nearly 10 years of operating data from 15 electric buses on the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service along the Sunway Route.

If you frequently commute in Klang Valley, then we’ve got some good news as the bus services are on the verge of better coordination. Furthermore, a new mobile app will also be launched by the end of the year to provide a smoother and more efficient service.
