KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 22 — Prasarana Malaysia Berhad today launched the Keluarga Malaysia Travel Pass to encourage more Malaysians to use the public transportation system across the Klang Valley available beginning December 1.

Launching the event, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said that the Keluarga Malaysia Travel Pass — which would cost RM15 — would allow four persons from the same family limitless daily access to ride the LRT, MRT and Monorail, as well as the BRT Sunway line on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.

"Public transportation also plays an important role towards the success of Keluarga Malaysia.

"Aside from it being a tool to unite all races in the country, it also serves to boost the country’s economic growth,” he said in his speech during the launch of the travel pass here in KL Sentral.

Prasarana Chairman Tan Sri Jamaludin Ibrahim said that the Keluarga Malaysia Travel Pass initiative also aims to help lift Malaysia’s economy by encouraging Malaysians to utilise public transport and spend at shopping malls within Prasarana’s rail and bus network.
