KUALA LUMPUR, April 28 (Bernama) – Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd (Rapid Bus) will launch seven new routes starting April 30, aimed at improving connectivity between its Rapid KL On-Demand services and major rail networks like KTM Komuter and KLIA Transit.

The new routes include connections from KTM Kajang-Jalan Reko; KTM UKM-UKM; Bandar Tasik Kesuma-Bandar Rinching; KTM Bangi-Bandar Bukit Mahkota; MRT 16 Sierra-Taman D'Alpinia; LRT Putra Heights-Rimbayu/Bandar Saujana Putra and Salak Tinggi KLIA Transit-Kota Warisan.

Rapid Bus acting chief executive Officer Ku Jamil Zakaria said the move would enhance the commuter experience by offering seamless transitions to their next destinations, improving journey planning and providing more efficient first and last-mile connections.

“It would be an added convenience for commuters using public transportation beyond the existing Rapid KL bus and train services,” he added.
