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. [1] As of 2023, the service known as Smart Selangor has operated over 50 bus routes with 150 buses deployed at all Selangor local government areas (including Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) where the service branded as PJ City Bus), with Selangor state government spent over RM30 million for operating this service.

The service is a now a part of Selangor Mobiliti program from September 2023. 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. [2]

Scan to ride

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. [3] This implementation (especially the enforcement of mandatory QR code scan to PJ City Bus services) has caused inconvenience to the passengers, with the fare enforced for foreigners are not considered discrimination according to Menteri Besar of Selangor.
