MyKomuter50 pass for unlimited KTM rides could land by Dec 1, Loke says

The Malaysian government has announced a new RM50 monthly MyKomuter50 pass for KTM Komuter services, launching between December 1 and January 1, to provide significant travel cost savings.

The pass will allow Malaysian citizens unlimited travel on KTM Komuter for 30 days, addressing public demand for a KTM equivalent to Prasarana's My50 pass.

The initiative aims to alleviate commuting costs, with significant savings for long-distance travelers, and is expected to benefit around 40,000 users.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke also announced plans for service upgrades, including new train sets and increased frequency, to address current operational challenges.

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 12 — 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.

For commuters, the application process will be straightforward: only a MyKad is required to qualify.

“Applicants must be Malaysian citizens. That is it, really,” Loke said.

“KTMB is currently working on the mechanism for implementing the pass. I am pushing for it to be introduced as early as December 1.”

To keep the experience frictionless, the minister said that the government wants to avoid tedious registration processes.

Loke said discussions over the ticketing system is ongoing with KTMB, adding that a digital option would be preferred.

The minister said that the pass is “very value for money” and will directly lower the cost of living for those with long commutes.

The savings are significant: commuters travelling between Tanjung Malim and Kuala Lumpur could save RM366 a month, reducing a typical 40-journey cost from RM416 to just RM50.

Similarly, those travelling between Alor Setar and Butterworth could save up to RM250 monthly, while users of the KTM Shuttle Selatan between Kluang and Johor Bahru could save over RM200. Commuters from Seremban to Kuala Lumpur stand to save at least RM300 a month.

First announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during last Friday’s Budget 2027 tabling, the pass is expected to benefit roughly 40,000 users.

Beyond pricing, Loke addressed ongoing frustrations regarding train frequency and long wait times, pledging a gradual service upgrade throughout next year.

Twelve new train sets are expected to enter service as early as February for the northern sector, covering routes from Ipoh to Butterworth and Butterworth to Padang Besar.

In the Klang Valley, frequency will increase incrementally as track upgrading works conclude and sections of the line reopen.

马来西亚政府宣布推出新的 KTM 通勤列车月票 MyKomuter50，价格为 50 令吉，将于 12 月 1 日至 1 月 1 日期间推出，旨在为乘客节省大量出行成本。

该通行证将允许马来西亚公民在 30 天内无限次乘坐 KTM Komuter 通勤列车，满足公众对 KTM 类似 Prasarana My50 通行证的需求。

该计划旨在减轻通勤成本，为长途旅行者节省大量费用，预计将惠及约 4 万用户。

交通部长陆兆福也宣布了服务升级计划，包括引进新的列车组和增加发车频率，以应对当前的运营挑战。

布城，10 月 12 日讯——马来西亚通勤者有望通过 KTM Komuter 通勤列车推出的全新 MyKomuter50 月票节省大量出行成本。该月票售价 50 令吉，将于 12 月 1 日至新年期间推出。

交通部长陆兆福今天证实，该通行证将允许马来西亚公民在30天内无限次乘坐KTM通勤列车。虽然交通部力争在12月1日启动该计划，但为了确保所有技术准备工作顺利进行，1月1日仍是最终截止日期。

“我们计划最早于12月1日推出，最迟不晚于明年1月1日。如果12月1日之前未能准备就绪，我们将于1月1日推出。”陆兆福在交通部举行的新闻发布会上表示。

陆兆福今天解释说，这项举措是为了回应公众对 KTM 推出类似于 Prasarana My50 通行证的类似产品的需求。

此前，由于 KTM 网络的距离较长、票价较高，该项目的实施受到阻碍，但目前在获得财政部批准后，该项目正在向前推进。

对于通勤者来说，申请流程非常简单：只需提供马来西亚身份证（MyKad）即可符合资格。

“申请人必须是马来西亚公民。仅此而已。”陆兆福说。

“马来西亚铁道公司（KTMB）目前正在研究实施该通行证的机制。我正在努力争取最早于12月1日推出该通行证。”

部长表示，为了保持流程顺畅，政府希望避免繁琐的注册程序。

陆兆福表示，他们正与马来西亚铁道公司（KTMB）就票务系统进行讨论，并补充说，数字化方案是首选。

部长表示，该通行证“物超所值”，将直接降低长途通勤者的生活成本。

节省的费用相当可观：往返于丹绒马林和吉隆坡之间的通勤者每月可节省 366 令吉，将典型的 40 次行程的成本从 416 令吉降低到仅 50 令吉。

同样，往返于亚罗士打和北海之间的乘客每月最多可节省250令吉，而乘坐KTM Shuttle Selatan往返于居銮和新山之间的乘客每月可节省超过200令吉。从芙蓉到吉隆坡的通勤者每月至少可节省300令吉。

该通行证由首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣在上周五提交的 2027 年财政预算案中首次宣布，预计将惠及约 40,000 名用户。

除了价格问题，陆兆福还回应了乘客对列车班次和长时间等待的持续不满，承诺明年将逐步提升服务质量。

预计最早于 2 月，将有 12 列新列车投入北部线路运营，线路涵盖怡保至北海和北海至巴东勿刹。

在巴生谷地区，随着轨道升级工程的完成和部分线路的重新开放，列车班次将逐步增加。
