BANGI, 18 Dec 2015 – Students and staff of The National University of Malaysia (每日大赛app) who need to save costs now have the benefit of using a car-pooling service that is only offered to them, as public transport services in the Klang Valley have increased their fares.
An advanced carpooling platform called 鈥楯om Tumpang’ registered under the Centre For Entrepreneurship and Small and Medium-sized EntrepreneursDevelopment of 每日大赛app (CESMED 每日大赛app) is connecting vehicle-owners driving alone to give rides to passengers 聽who don鈥檛 have their own transport.
Jom Tumpang was founded by 聽Mohamed Haziq Ezwan Baharudin, 22, a post-graduate student and Ismail Shaik Sindamar, 25, an undergraduate student from the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST).
鈥楯om Tumpang’ is cheaper than going on a cab, faster than a bus and more comfortable than a train. They will send to the front door if you so wish, said co-founder Ismail.
He explained that that Jom Tumpang’ operates 24 hours upon request.
鈥淪tarts as low as RM6 per trip to RM65,聽 you may ride with us to Negeri Sembilan, Kuala Lumpur and around Selangor. We鈥檙e trying our best to expand our service to different states,鈥 he said.
鈥淵ou鈥檙e not only sharing the car but you also help in cutting costs since the fare is based not on per head but per car. While you鈥檙e saving money, you鈥檙e also preserving the earth,鈥 Ismail stated.
He added Jom Tumpang is registered under the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM). All the drivers are qualified since they will go through an interview before they鈥檙e accepted to be one of Jom Tumpang鈥檚 driver.
