Immediately, we would be focusing on establishing RapidKuantan. We aim to make full use of the expertise, experience and knowledge of our operating arms for bus - RapidKL for Klang Valley and Selangor; and RapidPenang for Penang to ensure the commuters of Kuantan and Pahang enjoy efficient and affordable mode of traveling. |
