SHAH ALAM, March 2 — The Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) supports the state government’s call to make usage of ‘Scan to Ride’ application as compulsory to Smart Selangor Bus passengers.
Shah Alam mayor Dato’ Haris Kasim said the effort is in line with the National Security Council (NSC) recommendation to increase cashless transactions and reduce the risk of Covid-19 transmission.
“We are confident that many Smart Selangor Bus users will download the Citizen E-Payment Platform (CEPat) application to make use of this system.
