News & Reviews:   LRT

Anthony Loke, Malaysia’s Minister of Transportation recently announced that all public transportation will apply an open payment system so you may be able to use credit and debit cards to pay for Public Transportation. Previously, you could only use tokens or Touch N’ Go cards to make digital payments for Public Transportation like buses, LRT, MRT and Komuter.

RapidKL has clarified that customers using its services during the month-long free ride period will have to either use a Touch ‘n Go card or collect tokens at the respective station’s customer service office. This is because ticket vending machines in all of Rapid KL’s station will not be in service throughout the period.

If you are those who commune with public transport to travel around the city or to work then this might be big news for you. Prasarana has just announced that they will be offering a Buy 1, Free 1 package on the My30 pass from 21 December 2020 until 31 March 2021. This promotion is an effort to encourage domestic tourism.

Using public transportation can save your time from being stuck in a horrible traffic jam. Not only it helps with that, but it can also save your money if you're using travel passes that come with a special rate like the MY30. However, there are some who don't like the idea as waiting time for public buses can be uncertain and sometimes it'll take long. To make changes, RapidKL announced that the waiting time for selected RapidKL, Go KL, LRT, and Smart Selangor will now be displayed on Google Maps in real-time.
