If you work or live in the Putrajaya area, Grab is now seen testing a new shared transportation feature called Grab Saver Shuttle. With this function, you can get affordable shared transportation to move around Putrajaya.
Through an announcement shown by Grab on their app, this transportation option is provided specifically for trips to and from Putrajaya Sentral to the following areas:
Precincts 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 18
IOI City Mall
UiTM Dengkil
This service is suitable for those who want to go to and from Putrajaya Sentral to the specified areas, and do not mind sharing a vehicle with several other passengers.
Currently, the Grab Saver Shuttle transportation option operates from Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) from 7 am to 7 pm. Each Grab Saver Shuttle booking can also only accept one customer at a time. The driver will also only wait for your arrival for three minutes. Late fees will apply if you arrive later than this time.
We are awaiting a response from Grab Malaysia on additional details such as the type of vehicles used for the Saver Shuttle service and the duration of the beta test.
Update: We have been informed by Grab Malaysia that the vehicles used for the Saver Shuttle service are existing Grab ride-hailing vehicles. Currently, it is being tested as a pilot project, and will be offered in the area around Putrajaya Sentral first to test its effectiveness in offering a comfortable and affordable transportation service.
