The Smart Selangor buses offer a free alternative to school buses, where the fares can range from RM50 to RM300 per child. — Filepic The service, which began in mid-2016, covers a 15.6km route with 23 stops stretching from Jalan Batu Tiga Lama to Jalan Pos Baru.It now serves a broad network of 29 schools, including SK Klang, SMK Sri Istana and SMK Methodist ACS, among others .Darvish says the free bus is clean and equipped with WiFi, allowing many students to read online on the way to school.“With the escalating cost of living, savings from using free public transportation will come in handy.

The Smart Selangor free bus –which is open to all commuters – provides a sensible alternative, especially for families living along the routes and schools within walking distance of the stops. MBDK’s Urban Planning Department director Yusrina Mohamad Yusof emphasised the city council’s commitment to increasing public transport use to alleviate traffic congestion, especially during peak hours, and to reduce single-occupancy vehicles.“In 2024, we saw an overall 354,663 passengers,” she said.“Selangor Smart buses are also designed with ramps to cater to people with disabilities,” she added.

He also said the city council was looking into other ways to promote the free bus service among this target group.“Travelling on the free bus is actually quite pleasant, and it has WiFi connection,” he said.
