Rapid KL On-Demand vans have been doing a good job connecting commuters to and from their homes to train stations, bridging the so-called last mile. So far, the stations are LRT and MRT ones within the Prasarana family, but from today, the vans will also be serving popular KTM Komuter and KLIA Transit stations.
There are seven new zones for the Kajang, Bangi and Salak Tinggi areas. Under operator Mobi, there will be three vans each for KTM Kajang – Jalan Reko, KTM UKM – UKM, Bandar Tasik Kesuma – Bandar Rinching and KTM Bangi – Bandar Bukit Mahkota.
Under operator Kummute, there will be two vans each for MRT 16 Sierra – Taman D’Alpinia and LRT Putra Heights – Rimbayu/Bandar Saujana Putra, and four vans for KLIA Transit Salak Tinggi station – Kota Warisan. Many who work at KLIA live in this area and take the KLIA Transit daily, so this could be a game changer for their daily commute.
As usual, one will have to use either the Kummute, Trek Rides or Mobi apps to book a ride. The fare is RM1 per ride and one can pay with My50/MyCity/Pas Famili, Touch n Go cards, MyRapid concession cards and the OKU Smile pass.
Rapid Bus says that since Rapid KL On-Demand was introduced in January 2024, the vans are in 34 zones throughout the Klang Valley, and as of April 17, the highest daily average ridership is 7,442 people.
In January, transport minister Anthony Loke said that DRT (Demand Responsive Transit, the previous name for on-demand vans) is a hit and announced that Prasarana will be introducing 300 more vans for this first-mile, last-mile connectivity solution.
