Nadi Putra is however not the only bus operator in Putrajaya; RapidKL, the largest city bus operator in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, also has several routes serving Putrajaya.

History

Established on 20 May 1999 with 14 routes covering almost all of the areas inside Putrajaya, Nadi Putra is the trade name of Putrajaya intra-city bus services and has been in operation in July 1999. The bus service was privatised and handed over to GETS Global Berhad in 2018.

Cashless payment was implemented in January 2018, using Kad Putra; the cards were discontinued two years later in favour of QR code payment.

All NadiPutra bus services will be free of charge for Malaysian citizens effective 1 November 2020.[2] However, usage of NadiPutra app is still mandatory for contact tracing and citizenship verification.

Fleet
Badanbas-bodied Daewoo BV120MA on route L05.

Nadi Putra's fleet current consists of South Korean Daewoo buses, acquired in 2006, as well as BAIC Foton buses from China.

NEDO-EV supercapacitor electric buses on route L15. With a single 10-minute supercharge, this bus can run for up to 30 kilometres.

10 electric buses by Scania and the Japanese NEDO were acquired in 2016; the buses began operation in 2020.[3]

Criticism
Abandoned buses at NadiPutra Depots due to poor maintenance, thus led to outcry for Putrajaya residents due to low frequencies.

Nadi Putra's service quality has reportedly declined since privatisation in 2018. Most of the buses are poorly maintained frequencies are breaking down, causing outrage among the residents and workers in Putrajaya, Cyberjaya and Bandar Saujana Putra.[4]

Strikes broke out among Nadi Putra bus drivers in 2007 and 2018,[5].

The implemention of cashless payment via Kad Putra instead of the more widely accepted Touch 'n Go in January 2018 led to outcry from commuters coming from outside Putrajaya, as the cards and reloading services were only available at the Putrajaya/Cyberjaya ERL station, the station being Nadi Putra's hub. The cards were abolished in January 2020, and were replaced by QR code mobile applications.[6]

The result of poorly maintained bus leads to the bus being abandoned and replaced by Foton BJ6108U7LHD-R coach buses from Konsortium Bas Ekspres Semenanjung (KBES) buses, which was unpractical for city-buses, thus led to a failure of having a sustainable city buses.

Foton BJ6108U7LHD-R coach buses which replaced the NGV buses.
