SHAH ALAM, July 10 — The “Super App” currently being developed by the state government will integrate all public transport services under one digital platform, revealed state executive councillor for investment, trade, and mobility Ng Sze Han.
Addressing the Selangor State Legislative Assembly today, he said the app’s mobility aspect will consolidate services, including Smart Selangor buses, RapidKL, demand-responsive transit (DRT), and other systems to ensure a more seamless and transparent experience for users.
“This integration will allow for better service coordination and accessibility, and even provide space for tourism promotions through public transport,” he said during his wind-up speech on a report tabled by the Special Select Committee on Water Management, Agriculture, Infrastructure, and Mobility (Infragro) on the need to improve Selangor’s public transport ecosystem.
Previously, in November 2023, the state executive councillor for public health and the environment Jamaliah Jamaluddin told Media Selangor that the state government plans to evolve its SELangkah mobile app into a comprehensive super app, extending its capabilities beyond health services.
The app serves as a key platform in Selangor alongside the nationally mandated MySejahtera during the Covid-19 pandemic. It has since been upgraded to facilitate access to various health-related initiatives.
Under the proposed super app model, other government services and functions, including the digital payment service Wavpay, will also be integrated.
Responding to a separate concern raised by Permatang state assemblyman Nurul Syazwani Noh, Ng said that while Smart Selangor buses may not serve every rural village in the state, all main roads, including those connecting areas like Puncak Alam and Kuala Selangor, are already covered.
However, he acknowledged that there is still room for improvement in the service.
Ng added that the state government is currently exploring an extension of public transport routes from Shah Alam and Subang Jaya to Sabak Bernam to improve connectivity for both urban and rural communities.
The Selangor Mobility Master Plan, which is nearing completion, must also outline strategies that extend beyond city centres to serve the wider state.
He said the upcoming plan will take into account Federal, private, and local initiatives to ensure comprehensive coverage across all regions, including Sepang, Selayang, Sabak Bernam, and other growing townships.
“We cannot separate Selangor’s connectivity from Kuala Lumpur’s. We must plan together to ensure smoother, more integrated transport networks for the public,” Ng said.
