The Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) has announced that Rapid Kuantan would start its stage bus service in the Kuantan-Pekan and Kuantan-Sungai Lembing routes, effective Monday.

In a statement Saturday, SPAD said the service would provide comfortable and efficient bus service to local residents in the two routes.

It said Rapid Kuantan would provide five buses for the Kuantan-Pekan route and five more for Kuantan-Sungai Lembing.

SPAD hoped residents at both routes, especially students and workers, would benefit from the service which would enable smoother mobility for the public.
