KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 — The public can start activating the MyKomuter50 Pass on November 16 to enjoy unlimited travel for 30 days on selected KTM Komuter services for RM50, with savings of up to 88 per cent, effective December 1.

In a statement today, Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB) said the pass, aimed at easing the cost of living, was particularly beneficial to those commuting to work and educational institutions.

For example, users travelling on the Tanjung Malim-KL Sentral route, who would normally spend RM416 on fares over 30 days, would only need to pay RM50 with the pass, saving RM366 or nearly 88 per cent.

“For the Alor Setar-Butterworth route, users can save up to RM234, or about 82 per cent, compared with the estimated regular fare of RM284 over the same period and frequency of travel,” KTMB said.

The pass is open to Malaysian citizens aged seven and above who are not holders of the MyRailLife Pass. Applicants must present their MyKad or MyKid for eligibility verification.

Verification can be done through the KTM Mobile or KITS Style applications by uploading a copy of the identification document, a process that may take up to three working days.

Alternatively, users can obtain immediate verification at ticket kiosks or counters at KTM Komuter stations.

KTMB said activation and purchase facilities would be available at 34 selected stations, comprising 10 KTM Komuter Northern Sector stations, 20 Klang Valley KTM Komuter stations and four Southern Shuttle stations. An additional 11 registration counters would also be provided.

The pass is available at RM50 for each of the three service categories, namely MyKomuter50 Northern Sector, MyKomuter50 Klang Valley and MyKomuter50 Southern Shuttle.
