GoCar Malaysia has partnered with is Smart Selangor Parking (SSP) and Flexi Parking™ (FP) to offer greater flexible in mobility for customers in the city. Studies show that KL-ites spend about 53 minutes¹ stuck in traffic jams and 25 minutes² looking for parking daily. GoCar believes that by making use of technology, this urban traffic issue can be changed.
Users will now be able to utilise GoCar’s One-Way Trip feature (previously known as Free-Floating) and park at public parking lots without worrying about paying for parking. One-Way Trip is a service available 24/7 and enables users to book cars with more flexibility and control, paying only when needed and choosing their preferred drop off location later on. Now, with the SSP and FP collaboration, One-Way Trip gives users even more location options to drop off their GoCars.
“We’re glad to be partnering with SSP and FP to enable GoCars to be parked at all street parking lots within Selangor. This makes it much easier for our users to get nearer to their destinations and drop off the cars at their convenience. This will help bring us closer to seamless urban mobility,” said Ham Yon Han from GoCar.
“While the feature is currently available in Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya, we’re aiming to make other areas available by the end of the year. So do stay tuned as we strive to make cities smarter,” he shared.
To enable the new street parking feature, you just need to ensure your GoCar app is updated to the latest version (v4.2 onwards). You can then book a One-Way Trip in the app, select a pickup place and drop it off at any available location.
