PUTRAJAYA – Rapid KL, in collaboration with Sepang International Circuit (SIC), will provide free shuttle bus services during the Formula 1 (F1) Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix (GP) at SIC from Oct 2 to 4.
A total of 95 buses will be deployed on a loop basis to provide convenient and comfortable transport for visitors from key locations to the circuit.
Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Syahrul Azmir Ahmad Zaki said the special shuttle bus service to SIC would operate from three locations: the bus hub at Level 1 of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 2, the Mitsui KLIA bus hub and De-Village, Persiaran Millenia 2, Bandar Baru Enstek.
“The service will operate from 7am to midnight on all three days, with buses running every 10 to 15 minutes. Rapid KL will also provide shuttle buses within the circuit to help visitors move between key locations.
“The provision of these services reflects Rapid KL’s commitment to supporting international events and encouraging the use of public transport,” he said in a statement today.
To ensure smooth and safe operations, all buses will undergo safety inspections and be monitored throughout the service period.
Rapid KL personnel will also be stationed at strategic locations around the circuit to assist visitors and manage passenger movements.
Syahrul also advised visitors to plan their journeys in advance, follow instructions from personnel and queue when using the shuttle bus service.
Further information on shuttle bus routes and operating schedules is available through Rapid KL’s official website and social media channels.
Malaysia will host the F1 Gulf Air Bahrain GP at SIC, marking what F1 described as the first time in the sport’s history that a race has been relocated to another country following its cancellation.
F1 said in an earlier statement that the event, which is subject to final agreement and official approval, including from the FIA World Motor Sport Council, would be known as the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia. –BERNAMA
