Smart Selangor Bus

History

The service were launched on 1 July 2015 with first services deployed in areas within Shah Alam City Council (MBSA), Klang Municipal Council (MPK) and Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) in effort to reduce the congestion and promote the use of public transportation in Selangor.

Selangor Mobility has now also expanded to DRT services, operating on demand in 8 cities, namely Subang Jaya, Puchong, Petaling Jaya (Bandar Utama - North and Ara Damansara - South), Sungai Buloh, Ampang, UPM Serdang and Hulu Kelang with fixed rate at RM2 per trip.

Scan to ride

From 15 March 2021, all passengers are required to install Citizen E-Payment (CEPat) app from the mobile phone and scan the QR code provided on bus entrance in order to board any Smart Selangor buses (and PJ City Bus services from 1 January 2023) with 90 sen fare applies to non-Malaysian passengers. The service remain free to Malaysians with citizens aged 18 to 59 are required to scan the QR code via CEPat app upon entrance, while the school students and senior citizens are excepted from mandatory QR code scan and instead they have to bring an identify card or passport.
