Journey planning, on-demand rides and transit ticketing now available on Trek app
KUALA LUMPUR, March 1st 2024: Asia Mobility Technologies Sdn Bhd (“Asia Mobiliti”) announces the launch of multimodal journey planning and ticketing in Trek app, the region’s first mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) solution offering the current Trek Rides’ Demand-Responsive Transit (DRT) service with public transport, park & ride, and active transport in Greater Kuala Lumpur.
This marks a significant step forward in Kuala Lumpur’s transportation landscape, as Trek users who have been able to book DRT rides can now seamlessly plan their journeys across Greater Kuala Lumpur with a multimodal combination of city buses, rail services such as MRT and LRT, driving to park & ride sites, real-time parking availability, ERL’s airport rail services, KLIA inter-terminal shuttle bus and hyper localized walking directions.
“We are proud to introduce multimodal journeys through the Trek app, a significant milestone towards our mobility-as-a-service vision for cities like Kuala Lumpur,” said Ramachandran Muniandy, CEO and Co-founder of Asia Mobiliti. “Our digital strategy in connecting, integrating and aggregating transport services across modes has led to this moment, where users can now plan their daily urban journeys with ease and efficiency. This launch is just the beginning of our efforts to integrate more modes of transport into the Trek app.”
The launch of Trek Rides’ less than a year ago has seen considerable success, resulting in rapid expansion to five operational zones: Puchong, Bangsar South, Ampang, Hulu Kelang, and UPM-Serdang. This evolution into a multimodal app, enabling users to plan journeys across public and private modes of transport along with easy ticketing for public transit illustrates its potential to reshape urban transportation in the city.
One of the launch partners is Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd (ERL), the operator of KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit services that connect Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA T1 & T2) and the city. ERL passengers gain the seamless experience of planning their journeys to KLIA and purchasing KLIA Ekspres or KLIA Transit tickets within the Trek app with in-app QR code scanning at the gates.
“It has always been ERL’s commitment to constantly exploring innovative technologies that will benefit and provide value added services to our passengers. Working with Asia Mobiliti gives us the option to provide sustainable solutions for our passengers to plan their travel needs effortlessly,” said Noormah Mohd Noor, Chief Executive Officer of ERL.
The capability to book DRT rides, plan multimodal journeys and purchase transit tickets marks the fusion of various technologies developed by Asia Mobiliti aimed at enabling mass scale mobility-as-a-service for cities of the developing world.
The integration of these features into a single MaaS app marks a key milestone in the transformation of Kuala Lumpur’s transportation landscape with the full-scale deployment of mobility-as-a-service for the very first time in Malaysia. Users can expect more transport services and new modes to be included in this digital multimodal network such as micromobility, ride-hailing, and inter-city buses. This innovative effort seeks to reduce reliance on private vehicles, alleviate urban congestion, and address environmental concerns, thereby introducing a sustainable and efficient urban transportation system for cities like Kuala Lumpur.
