Rapid KL unlimited travel passes
Ask any local what they like and dislike about living in Kuala Lumpur, and you’ll likely hear the same two answers: the food and traffic jams. With Malaysia recording a whopping 4.6 million more vehicles than people, it’s often a no-brainer to opt for public transportation for our commutes and travels through KL to avoid the clogged roads.
Not to mention, rides on public transport are pretty affordable, especially with the unlimited travel passes offered by Rapid KL for its train and bus services in Klang Valley.
Below, we’ve rounded up everything you need to know about the different types of passes, plus their perks, so you can be on your way to travelling through KL without the hassle of traffic.

My50
If you’re a MyKad holder and a regular commuter in Klang Valley, the My50 Unlimited Travel Pass will be the pass most worth getting. It offers 30 days of unlimited rides across Rapid KL’s network, including the LRT, MRT, KL Monorail, BRT, Rapid KL buses, and MRT feeder buses.

This pass is priced at RM50 and can currently only be activated on MyKad or MyTentera. If you commute regularly, you can opt for auto-renewal by maintaining a value of RM55 in your MyKad. My50 also has a flexible renewal date. You can activate and start using the pass on any given date, without having to wait for the first day of the month.
To make things even smoother, there are plans to expand the pass availability to alternatives such as Touch ‘n Go (TNG) cards and smartphone QR codes. Soon, passengers will get to enjoy the ease of renewing their monthly passes via the TNG eWallet too.
MyCity
Beyond the My50, Rapid KL offers MyCity passes that can be purchased by both locals and tourists alike. The pass has the same perks as My50, but for a shorter duration. In other words, you’ll get unlimited rides on the LRT, MRT, KL Monorail, BRT, Rapid bus, and MRT feeder bus in Klang Valley for either a single day, two days, or three.
Prices start at a reasonable RM6 for Malaysians and RM18 for non-Malaysians, for a day pass.

For locals playing tourists and travellers who can’t avoid sightseeing and shopping on their KL trip, the MyTourist Pass is worth considering. It covers unlimited rides on public transport across the Klang Valley, via the MRT, LRT, monorail, bus rapid transit, and feeder bus services, and includes discounts at selected eateries, retailers, and attractions in KL.
Highlight perks include 15% off tickets to KL Tower’s attractions, free durian mochi at DurianBB, and 25% off tickets to Sunway Lagoon.
Options are available for one-, two-, and three-day durations, with differing rates for locals and tourists – prices start at RM20 for Malaysians, and RM40 for tourists.
