Rapid KL has improved shuttle bus coordination to Sepang International Circuit after receiving feedback from Bahrain Grand Prix fans about travel to the venue on Oct 2.
Rapid KL Improves Sepang Shuttle Coordination
The public transport operator said the enhancements cover traffic flow and passenger pick-up and drop-off arrangements, made together with SIC and relevant agencies. As of 11am on Oct 3, traffic flow and passenger movement were smooth and under control, Rapid KL said in a statement. The Sepang circuit is hosting the 2026 Bahrain GP from Oct 2 to 4.
Rapid KL said the shuttle bus services had been implemented as planned, in line with operational arrangements agreed upon with the organiser. The operator said it remains committed to ongoing coordination to ensure a better event experience for everyone attending the race weekend. Following the feedback received, Rapid KL, together with SIC and the relevant agencies, made improvements to the passenger pick-up and drop-off arrangements. These improvements were implemented from Oct 3 to ensure smoother and more orderly passenger movement.
Passenger Movement and Event Operations
Rapid KL said it will continue to monitor the situation with SIC and the relevant agencies to ensure smooth passenger movement and a better Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix experience for everyone. Rapid KL said its shuttle bus operations covered the management and movement of buses and passengers according to the stipulated arrangements.
Overall traffic coordination to and from SIC, as well as vehicle flow management at passenger pick-up and drop-off areas, was coordinated with the event organiser and relevant agencies. The operator assured it would continue to work closely with all parties to ensure operational coordination and passenger movement proceed smoothly throughout the event. Rapid KL appreciates the patience, cooperation and feedback from passengers in helping improve the travel experience throughout the event.
Bahrain Grand Prix at Sepang Circuit
The statement was issued on Oct 3 as the race weekend continued at the iconic circuit. The improvements followed concerns raised by fans about travel to the venue on the opening day of the event. The SIC was chosen to host the three-day 2026 Bahrain GP, which ends on Oct 4, making the iconic circuit a temporary venue for the prestigious race.
In July, Formula 1 confirmed Malaysia as the host of the race from Oct 2 to 4 following an agreement between F1, the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and the governments of Malaysia and Bahrain.
