Rapid KL launches free shuttle buses to Sepang Circuit for Formula 1 weekend, starting October 2
Market Impact
Rapid KL will provide free shuttle services to the Sepang International Circuit from October 2 to 4, offering frequent transport for visitors attending the Formula 1 Malaysian Grand Prix, the company announced on Thursday.
The initiative aims to ease congestion and promote public transport use during the high-profile event, with services running from 7:00 AM to midnight daily. Rapid KL will also deploy additional feeder buses within the circuit to connect key areas, reinforcing its commitment to supporting international events and sustainable mobility.
The free shuttles will operate from three main hubs: KLIA2’s Level 1 Bus Terminal (B1, B2, B3), Bandar Baru Enstek’s De-Village (Persiaran Milenia 2), and Mitsui Outlet Park’s Bus Terminal. Passengers are advised to combine Rapid KL’s services with existing public transport options, including the Kelana Jaya LRT, Monorail, Kajang MRT, Ampang/Sri Petaling LRT, and Putrajaya MRT, before transferring to the KLIA Ekspres or KLIA Transit to reach KLIA2.
From there, the free shuttles will transport them directly to the circuit.
Rapid KL’s managing director, Datuk Seri Mohd Zulkifli Mohd Zin, stated in a press release via Bernama that the service would ensure seamless connectivity for attendees traveling from major locations. "This initiative reflects Rapid KL’s dedication to facilitating international events while encouraging the use of public transportation," he said.
The move follows growing concerns over traffic congestion during major sporting events, particularly as the F1 weekend coincides with peak travel periods. Rapid KL’s decision to offer free shuttles aligns with Malaysia’s broader push to reduce private vehicle reliance during high-visibility public gatherings. The service will be available exclusively for the three-day event, with no additional charges for passengers.
