PETALING JAYA: The feeder bus service of the Greater Kuala Lumpur / Klang Valley (GoKL) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) complements the urban rail network in the city.

"The bus service is designed to function as a feeder bus, providing last mile connectivity by integrating with other modes of public transport.
"It acts as a feeder bus service for the MRT Sungai Buloh - Kajang line," Ahmad Radhi Maarof, Head of the National Key Result Areas (NKRA), said during the
walkabout at the Pusat Bandar Damansara MRT station today evening.
There will be 192 buses in operation with 108 as backup.
"The frequency of the buses are every 10 to 15 minutes and until June 2017, the service recorded a ridership of 367,000 per month, averaging 13,000 per day," he said.
Since its introduction, the average daily ridership for GoKL has increased from 8,450 passengers to 38,061 passengers, representing a growth of 350%.
By 2020, this figure is expected to rise to an average daily ridership of 58,562.
