PM Launches Keluarga Malaysia Pass, Encourages Public To Use Public Transport

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 22  — The introduction of the Keluarga Malaysia (Malaysian Family) Pass by Prasarana Malaysia Berhad is hoped to encourage the public to use public transport for leisure or to visit the various tourist attractions in the Klang Valley.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said at a price of only RM15, the travel pass enables four people in a group to enjoy one-day unlimited rides on Prasarana-owned bus and train services on Saturday, Sunday or any public holiday at a price of RM15.

The services include the Light Rail Transit (LRT), Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), the monorel and the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).

“This means that each person in the group of four will only have to pay RM3.75 to use rail and bus services operated by Rapid KL all day long.

“This initiative is aimed at encouraging Malaysian families to go out and spend quality time with their loved ones either to go to the malls or just to visit the many tourist attractions along the public transportation network in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor,” he said when launching the travel pass here today.

Also present were Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong, Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim and Prasarana chairman Tan Sri Jamaludin Ibrahim.

Ismail Sabri also said convenient, efficient and interconnected public transport was vital for Keluarga Malaysia’s mobility.

“Public transport is no exception in playing an important role in ensuring the success of Keluarga Malaysia because apart from being a tool for national unity, it also spurs economic growth,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister also announced the Transit Package for Small and Medium Enterprise owners, which will be implemented by Prasarana subsidiary, Prasarana Integrated Development Sdn Bhd (PRIDE) starting March next year, that will allow SME owners to conduct business at eight LRT stations along the Kelana Jaya LRT Line.

The stations are at Subang Alam, Alam Sutera, Putra Height, Puchong Industrial Park, Awan Besar, IOI Puchong Jaya, Plaza Rakyat and SS18.
