An autonomous electric bus service began operating in Putrajaya on 7 October 2026, joining the Nadiputra public transport network. Putrajaya Corporation said the new P113 route charges RM1 for each one-way journey.

The route serves six stops on a circuit from MRT Putrajaya Sentral, returning to the station after calling at Kementerian Kewangan, Istana Kehakiman, Kementerian Belia & Sukan, Dataran Gemilang and Kompleks PPJ.

Buses operate Monday to Friday, with no service at weekends or on public holidays. The earliest departure from MRT Putrajaya Sentral is at 7.15am and the last at 5.45pm. Timings may vary depending on traffic. Payment is cashless only, using Visa or Mastercard credit or debit cards.

Whether the service will continue permanently remains unclear. Official records show that Handal Indah was awarded an 18-month tender for an autonomous electric bus service. The company is operating the new service alongside autonomous vehicle firm eMooVit, whose buses use LiDAR, radar and cameras to sense their surroundings and navigate traffic.
