RapidKL to discontinue daily pass system

RapidKL is discontinuing its daily pass system effective Sept 1, and commuters will now be charged according to the number of trips and the zones travelled in a day.

For local (feeder bus) routes, passengers will now be charged RM1 per trip, while for the main routes, the charge is RM1 to RM3 according to the number of zones travelled. There are four zones in all.

Presently, passengers on local and main routes pay RM1 and RM2 respectively for a daily pass, which allows unlimited travel in a day.

To ease the burden of commuters, RapidKL is introducing different types of monthly passes 
>> Local routes only – RM40 per month (new)
>> For all routes (local, city and main) – RM100 (up from RM80)
>> Integrated LRT and bus passes – RM150 (up from RM135)
>> Concession passes for senior citizens, schools kids and disabled persons for all routes – RM50 (new)

Suffian said the new monthly buses passes will be sold from Aug 20 onwards. 

He also announced that from September onwards, those using Touch ‘n’ Go cards to pay fares will no longer be able to do so on RapidKL buses due to upgrading works on the system.
