Kota Kinabalu: City folks will be able to experience the future of comfortable and "clean" public transportation for free with Sabah's first electricity-powered bus service inaugurated Friday.

The eBusKK service is being undertaken by Qhazanah Sabah Berhad as part of a six-month pilot project during which the public can enjoy rides around Kota Kinabalu City beginning with a route between Sepanggar and Menara Kinabalu in the city’s downtown area.

Feasibility studies will be conducted during this pilot run to assess the sustainability of an electric bus service in Sabah. 

The pilot run will eventually be expanded beyond the Sepanggar-Menara Kinabalu route. The study outcome will pave the way for a detailed and overall planning of future eBus services.
