Zone system

Zone 1 is the city center. Zone 1 charges are normally applied when a passenger travels within a zone. So even if the passenger is travelling in zones 2,3 and 4, they will still be charged RM 0.90. Zone 2 charges occur when a passenger travels from a zone to the next zone, such as Zone 1-2, or zone 2-3, or zone 3-4 and vice versa. Zone 3 charges apply when travelling two zones across, such as from zone 1-3 or zone 2-4 while zone 4 charges (seldom used) are when one travels from the first zone to the fourth zone, which would be from the city center to the remote areas. For Rapid KL buses however, their ticketing system does not follow the "zone system" as above but on day passes, no matter how long the distance one travels.


Disabled access

RapidKL buses now are equipped with low floor plan in certain routes in the city centre. Apart from that, there is no other disabled-friendly buses available.
