All 12 stations along the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) phase 1 route from Semantan to Sg Buloh will have 112 feeder buses operating along them from Dec 16, according to a Bernama report.
“A discount of 20% will be given to students, senior citizens, holders of weekly and monthly passes,” said MRT Corp’s head of feeder bus and infrastructure planning, Rudyanto Azhar, when contacted by Bernama.
He added that commuters need only pay RM1 for the feeder bus service, and that up to 300 buses are provided as feeders in a joint venture between MRT Corp and Prasarana Malaysia Berhad, via Rapid Bus.
An additional 188 feeder buses are set to operate according to schedule when the MRT is fully completed from Semantan to Kajang on July 31, 2017, he said, adding that 26 bus routes travelling between stations will be deployed in the first phase with a total distance of 256.3 km.
Three to five buses will be operating on each route with a frequency of 10 minutes each, according to Rudyanto. “The bus is equipped with comfortable seats, a special room for people with disabilities and security cameras (CCTV) and can accommodate up to 62 passengers at a time,” he said.

As usual, information such as this is released without further and important details such as the routes. With approximately 2 weeks to go before the service is launched, they need to have this info circulated quickly and widely to encourage usage!
Probably aligning the routes with RapidKL at the moment and to ensure not stealing passengers from them for certain routes.
What do we do when the feeder bus driver tidur and miss his trip like how we wait for hours and hours for feeder bus when we take LRT?
MRT must tell the feeder bus drivers jangan tidur.
