It is run with Handal Indah and eMooVit, likely using eMooVit's Kinglong EV bus, and a Perbadanan Putrajaya tender for an 18-month autonomous EV bus service was awarded to Handal Indah at RM779,770. The bus runs Monday-Friday only with fixed departures (7:15-10:15 AM and 2:45-5:45 PM), and payment is cashless but limited to Visa or Mastercard credit/debit cards, not Touch 'n Go or My50. Why: For Malaysian transport or payment builders, the concrete constraint is that this autonomous shuttle cannot be paid for with Touch 'n Go or My50, only Visa/Mastercard, so any mobility pilot relying on standard Rapid KL/Nadiputra fare rails would need separate card acceptance. The 18-month RM779,770 tender and weekday-only schedule make this look like a limited pilot, not yet a permanent, full-day service to build around. malaysia-tech autonomous-vehicles payments public-transport
