Rapid KL’s RM150 Unlimited Monthly Pass Is Now on TnG eWallet, Is It Worth It?

Commuters in the Klang Valley can now skip the queue entirely. Rapid KL has introduced the digital Rapid Monthly Pass, an unlimited travel pass that can be purchased and activated through the Touch ‘n Go (TnG) eWallet application. The move is part of a broader push by Prasarana to digitalise public transport and reduce reliance on physical counter transactions.

What is the Rapid Bulanan Pass and what does it cover?

The Rapid Bulanan digital pass offers unlimited rides for 30 consecutive days across Rapid KL’s full network, including the LRT, MRT, Monorail, BRT Sunway, Rapid KL buses, and MRT feeder buses. It is priced at RM150, with a minimum purse value of RM5 required on your Touch ‘n Go card to use the pass. The 30 days run from the date of activation, not the calendar month, so you can start it any day.

Full details, including terms and conditions, are available on the official Rapid KL Rapid Bulanan product page.

Who can buy the Rapid Bulanan Pass?

Unlike the government-subsidised My50 pass, which is exclusively available to Malaysian citizens, the Rapid Bulanan pass is open to both Malaysians and non-citizens, making it a practical option for tourists, expatriates, and foreign workers who rely on Rapid KL’s services in the Klang Valley.

For Malaysians already on My50, the existing RM50 subsidised pass remains the better deal. Prices for the My50, Rapid Emas, and Rapid Mesra concession cards remain unchanged, in line with Prasarana’s commitment to ensuring affordable and inclusive public transport for those in need.

How do I activate the Rapid Bulanan Pass via TnG eWallet?

The process takes less than two minutes. Here’s how:

• Open the TnG eWallet app and tap the “Transport” feature on the home screen
• Scroll down and choose “Rapid KL Pass”, then select “Rapid Bulanan”
• Tap your physical TnG NFC card or wearable smart charm against the back of your phone
• Complete the RM150 payment, then tap your card or charm again to activate the pass

You will still need to carry your physical card or charm to pass through the station gates, the digital app does not replace the physical hardware. For commuters who do not own an NFC-capable smartphone, Rapid KL will continue to offer the pass through station counters. Ensure your TnG eWallet app is updated to the latest version before attempting activation.

Is the RM150 Rapid Bulanan Pass worth it?

The maths depends on how often you commute. A typical single-fare LRT or MRT trip within the Klang Valley ranges from RM1.20 to RM4.30. If you take two trips a day on working days, that’s roughly RM50–RM170 per month at pay-per-ride rates, meaning the pass breaks even at around 30–35 rides a month, or roughly 15 working days of return trips.

At RM150, frequent commuters can lock in unlimited trips between major hubs including KLCC, Bukit Bintang, TRX, KL Sentral, Mid Valley, Cochrane, and Maluri. If you average two to four rides per day, Rapid Bulanan is usually cheaper than paying single fares.

Pass comparison at a glance

• My50 – RM50/month | Malaysians only (MyKad/MyTentera required) | Best value for citizens
• Rapid Bulanan – RM150/month | Malaysians & non-citizens | Best for expats, tourists, foreign workers

For Malaysians, the calculus is simple: if you qualify for My50, that RM50 pass is three times cheaper and covers the same network. The Rapid Bulanan at RM150 makes most sense if you’re a non-citizen, or a Malaysian who missed the My50 renewal window and needs immediate coverage.

What does this mean for your monthly budget?

Transport is one of the most controllable fixed costs in a Malaysian household budget. For daily commuters who currently pay per trip or rely on e-hailing services, switching to a monthly unlimited pass can cut transport spending significantly.

If you’re tracking where your money goes, transport costs belong in your monthly budget planner, and a flat RM150 is far easier to plan around than variable weekly spending. Pair it with a cashback credit card that rewards TnG top-ups, and you can squeeze even more value from every ringgit spent on commuting.
