An autonomous electric bus service, operated by Handal Indah and eMooVit, will begin serving Route P113 in Putrajaya from October 7, 2026, connecting MRT Putrajaya Sentral to Dataran Gemilang.

The service will operate Monday to Friday with limited timings and requires passengers to use Visa or Mastercard for cashless payments, excluding Touch 'n Go or My50 cards.

An 18-month contract for the service was awarded to Handal Indah for RM779,770, though it remains unclear if the service will become permanent.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 — Putrajaya’s Nadiputra public bus service will be joined by an autonomous electric bus starting tomorrow, October 7, 2026. Operated in collaboration with Handal Indah and eMooVit (remember this 5G-connected autonomous Proton Exora?), the new self-driving EV bus service will serve Route P113, connecting MRT Putrajaya Sentral to Dataran Gemilang.

From what we can gather, the service will likely use eMooVit’s Kinglong EV bus, which the company has been operating since 2022. The autonomous EV bus has performed numerous demo and test runs over the years, including on the Sunway BRT Line with Rapid KL, as well as in Cyberjaya and Putrajaya itself.

At the moment, it is unclear whether this will be a permanent service. However, official records show that Perbadanan Putrajaya issued a tender last December for an autonomous EV bus service with an 18-month duration, which was eventually awarded to Handal Indah with a final value of RM779,770.

Route stops and operating hours

The new Route P113 service runs a loop starting and ending at MRT Putrajaya Sentral, covering key administrative hubs along the way:

MRT Putrajaya Sentral (Start)

Kementerian Kewangan

Kementerian Belia & Sukan

Kompleks Perbadanan Putrajaya (PPJ)

MRT Putrajaya Sentral (End)

Currently, the operational hours of the autonomous EV bus appear to be rather limited. The service will operate strictly from Monday to Friday and will not run on Saturdays, Sundays, or Public Holidays.

Departure times from MRT Putrajaya Sentral are listed below, subject to traffic conditions:

Morning: 7.15am | 8.15am | 9.15am | 10.15am

Afternoon: 2.45pm | 3.45pm | 4.45pm | 5.45pm

No Touch ‘n Go or My50 support?

Aside from its limited operating hours, another detail that caught our attention in the Facebook announcement is the payment method. While the P113 autonomous EV bus service accepts cashless payments, passengers must use a Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card to pay for the ride.

This differs from standard Rapid KL and Nadiputra bus rides, which accept Touch ‘n Go cards and Rapid Passes/MY50. As for the fare, it costs RM1 per ride to travel on the new autonomous EV bus service. — SoyaCincau
