Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) will open activation for its RM50 MyKomuter50 pass on 16 November 2026.
The pass gives eligible commuters 30 days of unlimited travel on selected KTM Komuter services once it takes effect on 1 December 2026.
KTMB describes the pass as a MADANI government initiative to ease the cost of living through cheaper public transport, aimed in particular at people commuting to work and to educational institutions.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim first announced MyKomuter50 in Budget 2027, saying it would benefit about 40,000 KTM Komuter users.
How much commuters could save with MyKomuter50
KTMB estimates that commuters travelling between Tanjung Malim and KL Sentral typically spend RM416 on fares over 30 days. With MyKomuter50, they would pay RM50, saving RM366 or nearly 88%.
For the Alor Setar to Butterworth route, commuters could save RM234, or about 82%. This compares with regular fares of RM284 over 30 days for the same number of trips.
The pass costs RM50 for each of three service areas.
MyKomuter50 Utara covers the Padang Besar to Butterworth and Butterworth to Ipoh routes, while MyKomuter50 Lembah Klang covers Tanjung Malim to Pelabuhan Klang and Batu Caves to Pulau Sebang/Tampin.
MyKomuter50 Shuttle Selatan covers Paloh to JB Sentral and Kempas Baru to Pasir Gudang.
Digital and in-person eligibility checks
Activation is open to Malaysian citizens aged seven and above who do not hold a MyRailLife pass. Applicants must verify their eligibility with a MyKad or MyKid before buying the pass.
Commuters using the KTM Mobile or KITS Style apps upload a copy of their MyKad or MyKid, with approval taking up to three working days.
Ticket kiosks at every KTM Komuter station read the card through a scanner slot and approve applicants instantly.
Station counters offer the same instant approval once staff have checked the original card.
After verification, users can buy the pass digitally through KTM Mobile or KITS Style, or at a station counter on a Komuter Link card.
The app route lets commuters verify and pay without visiting a station, while kiosks and counters offer faster approval.
Activation and card purchase facilities are available at 34 selected stations: 10 on the northern KTM Komuter network, 20 in the Klang Valley and four on the Southern Shuttle.
KTMB has added 11 registration counters at stations including KL Sentral, Ipoh, Seremban and JB Sentral to handle demand.
KTMB is encouraging commuters to complete eligibility verification, activation and purchase on the same day.
