What is U-Sikal service?
U-Sikal is a program that fully supports university’s initiative in making Kampus Alam Pauh Putra as a 'Sustainable Campus'. U-Sikal service will make our campus more environmentally friendly. U-Sikal service includes rent-a-bike as a transport medium for a minimum fee for the use of residents around the campus in Pauh Putra. Currently, there are five bike stations located around the campus; bus terminal, library, hostel (PFI), Lecture Hall Complex and Boulevard. U-Sikal service uses the "Radio Frequency Identification" (RFID) concept technology, which was developed in UniMAP. Users only need to use RFID cards to use the bikes provided. These bikes will be locked at the designated 'parking bay' and can only be unlocked by using RFID card.
