Melaka launches 'PerjalananKu' mobile app to strenghten transportation planning

'PerjalananKu' is an initiative of the state Economic Planning Unit (UPEN) and the Melaka Green Technology Corporation in collaboration with the UK Global Future Cities Programme.

State Rural Development, Flood Management, and Green Technology Committee chairman Datuk Seri Idris Haron said a total of 3,000 respondents were needed to participate in a survey on the travel trends of its people via the application.

"The survey results will be utilised to improve the green public transportation system, encourage active travel and improve the preservation of the environment and socio-economic in the city.

"Respondents and their family members need to make their daily journey as they normally do and it will be recorded on the application," he told reporters after its launch here today.

He said the survey would run for a week from March 21 and interested participants could download the 'PerjalananKu' application from Google Play Store or App Store, adding that respondents who manage to complete all the required activities within the survey period would be eligible to win various prizes including a lucky draw worth RM1,000.
