KOTA KINABALU: Sabah launches its very first electric bus service offering a route covering the state capital’s downtown areas of between Sepanggar and Menara Kinabalu.

In the free-of-charge six-month pilot project, the eBusKK service is using a 54-passenger RM1.2mil bus.

“This data will be used as part of our evaluation on how we are going to run it permanently, hopefully by next year,” he told reporters after the launching ceremony at the Sabah International Convention Centre here on Friday . Ahmad Rizal said during the trial period, the service would be provided for days a week between 8am and 5pm but reminded the public to check the company’s social media accounts for the latest update.“Realistically, we are looking at operating anywhere from five to 20 buses as a start next year, depending on the success of the pilot project.

“This is just one component of a larger integrated system for the whole of Kota Kinabalu before we go further throughout Sabah,” he said.
