RAPID BUS LAUNCHES NEW SLOGAN 'DESTINASI ANDA INSPIRASI KAMI’
KUALA LUMPUR -- Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd (Rapid Bus) has launched a new slogan, ‘Destinasi Anda Inspirasi Kami’ (Your Destination Inspires Us) as a working philosophy among its staff when interacting with customers, colleagues and the general public.
The slogan was chosen as a result of the slogan competition won by the bus captain, Mohd Rahmat Abd Hamid, from Rapid Kuantan, who was inspired by an elderly passenger who was happy when he was able to visit his son at the hospital.
“The smile on his lips after meeting his son who has recovered made me aware of the important role of Rapid Bus staff and services because we not only provide public services and take passengers to their destinations but also connect them with loved ones,” he said in a statement today.
Meanwhile, Rapid Bus chief executive officer Muhammad Yazurin Sallij also expressed hope that the slogan, which was launched virtually on Sept 3, would be able to inject noble values and commitment among staff to provide the best possible service for customers.
