The Problem

Right now, nobody knows
where the bus is.

When your son or daughter boards an intercity bus from KL to Penang, you have no way of knowing if they arrived safely — or if something went wrong along the way.

~30M

intercity bus trips made annually in Malaysia

0

real-time tracking systems available to the public for private intercity coaches

Top 3

causes of road fatalities in Malaysia include speeding by commercial vehicles

hrs

time wasted in emergencies locating an overdue or missing bus without GPS data

"When the bus is 2 hours late and your phone calls go unanswered — you are completely helpless."

This is the experience of millions of Malaysians every year. We can fix this.

The Solution

MyBusTrack —
FlightRadar, but for buses.

A national platform that shows every registered intercity bus, live on a map. Simple to use. No technical knowledge needed.

🚌

Bus Departs

Location is broadcast every few seconds

📡

Signal Sent

Via phone data (Phase 1) or onboard IoT device (Phase 2)

🖥️

National Platform

Data collected securely on government-backed servers

👨‍👩‍👧

Family Tracks

Anyone with the app can see the bus live on a map

🚔

Authorities Notified

Speeding alerts go instantly to enforcement

System Preview

See it in action.

These are working mockups of what the system looks like — built to show exactly how it would work in practice.

Live Bus Tracker Map

📍 Public View — Live Bus Map

Families enter a booking reference and see exactly where their bus is on a live map of Malaysia, including ETA updates and journey progress.
MOT Command Center

🚔 Government View — Enforcement Command Centre

MOT and JPJK officers can see all active buses, flag speeding violations in real time, and dispatch action from a single dashboard.
Rollout Plan

Two phases.
No disruption.

We start simple. No new hardware required. Operators can join immediately using tools they already have.

1
Phase One · Immediate

Driver's Smartphone

📅 Months 1–6
  • Driver installs the MyBusTrack operator app
  • App runs in background, shares GPS every 10 seconds
  • Zero new hardware cost for operators
  • Works on any Android phone
  • Live dashboard accessible to MOT from Day 1
  • Public tracking app available for families
2
Phase Two · Mandated Hardware

Dedicated IoT Device

📅 Months 7–18
  • Small tamper-proof GPS device fitted to each bus
  • Works independently — no phone or driver needed
  • Cannot be switched off or bypassed
  • Built-in SIM card for always-on connectivity
  • Speed sensor integration for accurate enforcement
  • All existing operators migrated from Phase 1
Why It Matters

Four problems solved.
One system.

MyBusTrack addresses the needs of families, bus operators, enforcement agencies, and emergency responders — all at once.

💛

Peace of Mind for Families

Scan a QR code on the ticket and watch the bus travel live on your phone. Know exactly when it arrives — no more anxious waiting or unanswered calls.

🚦

Speeding Violations Caught Instantly

The system flags any bus that exceeds the speed limit and alerts enforcement officers immediately — before an accident happens, not after.

🚑

Faster Emergency Response

In the event of an accident, emergency services get the exact GPS coordinates of the bus instantly — cutting response time from hours to minutes.

📊

Data to Make Safer Roads

Over time, the government gains a clear picture of which routes, operators, and drivers are high-risk — enabling targeted enforcement and policy decisions.

🏢

Accountability for Operators

Bus companies that maintain good safety records can be certified and promoted. Poor performers are identified early and corrective action taken.

🇲🇾

Malaysia Leads the Region

No ASEAN country has a national public bus tracking platform at this scale. Malaysia can set the standard for road transport safety across Southeast Asia.
