Aye to demand-responsive transit service


Last-mile issue: Feeder bus services can be poor especially during peak hours.

RECENTLY, Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced his ministry’s plan to introduce the on-demand transit van service or demand-responsive transit (DRT) in the Klang Valley.

He also said that part of the RM50mil allocation under Budget 2024 to enhance public transport inter-connectivity would be used to purchase the vans, and Prasarana Malaysia Berhad (Prasarana) would be tasked to oversee the operations, “Transport Ministry to introduce on-demand transit van service to improve public transport” (The Star, Dec 17, 2023).
