1. Prasarana plans to add over 300 buses, through Rapid Bus, by 2024.
β€œWe have 1,540 Rapid KL buses but only 1,183 operate every day,” president Mohd Azharuddin says.
β€œThe number of buses is still very small compared to countries with efficient public transport like Singapore.”
2. He told Bernama that the first phase of the increase in buses will only involve Rapid KL services, due to the high demand from people in the federal capital.
He adds that they will start opening tenders in the first quarter of 2023.
3. Mohd Azharuddin says the company will also introduce 45 electric mini buses, measuring seven to eight metres in length and 55 large-sized buses measuring 10 to 12 metres.
He notes that Rapid KL had previously tested the electric buses for the BRT Sunway Line.
4. β€œWe are confident that we will be able to move these 100 electric buses, in parallel with the improvement in the rail system in the future, thus offering an optimal service to public transport users,” he adds.
