According to Putrajaya Corporation, the P113 route which was launched on Wednesday, starts and ends at MRT Putrajaya Sentral. Its stops include the Finance Ministry, Palace of Justice, Youth and Sports Ministry, Dataran Gemilang, and the Putrajaya Corporation (PP) Complex.

Buses run four morning trips at 7.15am, 8.15am, 9.15am, and 10.15am, followed by four afternoon trips at 2.45pm, 3.45pm, 4.45pm, and 5.45pm.
