KUALA LUMPUR: Rapid KL will deploy 85 buses for a special shuttle service to the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) during the 2026 Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia from Oct 30 to Nov 1.
Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Syahrul Azmir Ahmad Zaki said the service aimed to meet motorsports fans' transport needs and make their journeys to the circuit more convenient.
He said tickets would go on sale on Oct 22 at selected customer service counters and the Pasar Seni Bus Hub.
"Every year, motorsports fans from various locations gather in Sepang to experience the excitement of this world-class race firsthand. Rapid KL hopes this service will make their journeys to the circuit easier and more comfortable," he said in a statement today.
Syahrul Azmir said the shuttle service would operate from 3 locations: the Pasar Seni Bus Hub, the KLCC bus stop and the KLIA Terminal 2 Bus Hub.
A one-way ticket from Pasar Seni or the KLCC bus stop will cost RM20, while a return ticket will cost RM35. The one-way fare from KLIA Terminal 2 will be RM12.
Buses heading to SIC from all three locations will operate from 7am to 1pm at 30-minute intervals, while return services from the circuit will run from 4pm to 7pm.
