Connectivity is a highly-coveted feature in a property, whether residential or commercial. With the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) project and plans for the High Speed Rail (HSR), rail connectivity tops the list of most home seekers’ list these days. New transit-oriented developments like D’Sara Sentral and SqWhere which offer direct access from the residences and commercial properties to the Kampung Selamat MRT station in Sungai Buloh have proven to be popular with buyers.
Though not all of us can be able to live in properties which have the privilege of direct link bridges to MRT stations, the MRT feeder busses preset a newfound opportunity of connectivity. 107 feeder buses have begun operations around the Sungai Buloh-Kajang MRT Line 1, since December of 2016, with 25 routes bringing commuters to other key locations near the MRT stations, such as the Subang Airport, as well as residential areas.
The earliest busses leave at 5.30 a.m., while the last busses are at 11.30 p.m., with an interval of 10 minutes from every MRT station where commuters can catch the feeder busses. Fares for the feeder buses have also been kept to a minimum, at just RM1 per trip! Students, senior citizens as well as the disabled will also get to enjoy 50% off their fare, all they need to do is present their student card (unless in uniform), MyKad (senior citizens) and OKU card (those with disabilities) to the bus operator upon boarding. Commuters can choose to make payment for the tickets by cash or with just a convenient tap of their Touch ’N Go cards.
The feeder busses also take into account the comfort and security of its passengers, with features like CCTV security cameras, with Mother and Child seat and Priority seats in addition to the normal seats. An area is also specially designated for the disabled. Each 28-seater bus is able to accommodate 62 passengers, where 34 are standees.
So if you’re looking to make the most out of the feeder busses, here’s a list of residential as well as commercial properties along the way of the many routes.
