Promising times for public transport

A boost for buses: Prasarana is partnering with UrbanMetry to harness big data to give buses – the weak link in the country’s urban public transport landscape – a significant boost.

THE public transport network operated by Prasarana Malaysia Bhd in the Klang Valley continues to go from strength to strength, with this year proving to be a bumper year for urban rail and bus ridership.

Each month, up to November, more than 27 million rides were made using the Rapid KL network comprising the MRT, LRT and Sunway BRT as well as all buses under Rapid Bus.
