Asia Mobiliti said it was one of two companies appointed to deploy a demand-responsive transit system, and the appointments were made to avoid a monopolistic situation because only two companies in the country can provide the highly specialised service to date.
“In the context of the Selangor Mobility appointment process, we understand the reasons given for awarding two companies instead of one. An open tender in this situation of a highly specialised new service and with only two qualified companies in Malaysia would have created a monopoly situation in the state.
Asia Mobiliti said it may exercise its legal options “where necessary in safeguarding our reputation and credibility”. It is also efficient because it helps reduce wait times and optimise routes, making them potentially faster than traditional buses.A private pilot of the service was deployed in September 2021 in Petaling Jaya for relevant stakeholders and clients, and the company said its success led to Agensi Pengangkutan Awam Darat granting it an operating licence.
