Return of the mini bus?

KUALA LUMPUR: Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd (Rapid Bus), the operator of the Rapid KL bus services will be running a trial mini bus service for Route T300.

Route T300 operates from the Bukit Indah hub to Ampang Point, via Jalan Rasmi.

The trial service will utilise three (3) mini buses and will run from Sept 1 to Nov 29.

Rapid Bus Chief Executive Officer, Muhammad Yazurin Sallij said the upcoming trial would enable Rapid Bus to test the suitability of using mini buses in neighbourhoods with narrow roads.

He added that the trial would also give better insight into the commuters’ journey experience via the feedback received.

“If there is encouraging demand during the trial service, we will consider retaining the service for this route and possibly extend the service to other potential routes.

“This is part of Rapid Bus' initiative to provide better service and frequency for our commuters,” said Yazurin.

The mini buses, which can carry about 31 passengers per bus, will run on a frequency of 15 minutes (peak hours) and 25 minutes (non-peak hours) from 5.30am to 11.40pm.

Commuters are welcomed to give feedback during the trial service by contacting the Rapid KL Helpline at 03-7885 2585 or email at suggest@rapidkl.com.my
