PUTRAJAYA — Malaysian commuters can expect significant savings in travel costs through the new RM50 monthly MyKomuter50 pass for KTM Komuter services set for launch between December 1 and the new year.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke confirmed today that the pass will grant Malaysian citizens unlimited journeys on KTM Komuter for 30 days. While the ministry is pushing for a Dec 1 start, Jan 1 remains the final deadline to ensure all technical preparations are seamless.

“We are targeting a launch as early as December 1 or, at the latest, January 1 next year. If it is not ready by December 1, we will launch it on January 1,” Loke told a press conference at the Transport Ministry.

The initiative is in response to widespread public demand for a KTM equivalent to Prasarana’s My50 pass, Loke explained today.

Implementation was previously hindered by the longer distances and higher fare structures of the KTM network, but the project is now moving forward following approval from the Finance Ministry.
