Antarjemput

Antarjemput is a transportation service that moves people between predefined pickup points and destinations, typically for routine trips such as between home and school, work, or transit hubs. The term is commonly used in Indonesia and Malaysia and can refer to services operated by schools, employers, private transport companies, or community organizations.

Origin: From Indonesian antar meaning to transport across and jemput meaning to pick up.

Common forms include school shuttle services, workplace shuttles, airport or railway station shuttles, neighborhood shuttles, and private on-demand services.

Operations usually involve a fleet of minibuses or vans, fixed or semi-fixed routes, and scheduled pickup times. Passenger lists, route planning, and driver assignments are managed by the operator, and safety measures such as seat belts and insurance are standard requirements.

Key considerations include cost, convenience, and travel time; some services are subsidized by schools or employers, while others are paid by passengers. Access and comfort vary by provider and region.

Safety and regulation: Operators must comply with road traffic laws, vehicle standards, licensing, and insurance requirements. Some jurisdictions impose additional rules for student transport or public shuttle services.
