Rapid KL On-Demand (ROD) will introduce a fixed fare of RM2 per ride beginning 1 February
According to Bernama, the new fare will mark the end of the RM1 promotional rate and transition the service to a permanent pricing model.

Of the total, 130 vans will be deployed in the Klang Valley and 170 vans will operate in Penang.
"In the Klang Valley, 22 new zones will be added, while 23 new zones will be introduced in Penang," Sharul Azwa said, noting that ROD currently covers 71 zones in the Klang Valley and 11 zones in Penang.
She added that Prasarana is also focusing on improving ROD services for persons with disabilities, taking into account operational features and future planning.
