Apad hopes for cooperation of private companies in encouraging use of public transport

KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 — The Land Public Transport Agency (Apad) hopes that more private transport providers will work together to help deal with the first- and last-mile system issues in an effort to encourage the public to use public transport more optimally and comprehensively.

It is in line with the full operation of the MRT Putrajaya Line from Kwasa Damansara to Putrajaya beginning tomorrow at 3 pm after being launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Apad director-general Datuk Azlan Shah Al Bakri said in an effort to strengthen the country’s public transport system, the agency had introduced the bus on demand (BOD) service through a proof of concept (POC) since last year.
