Express Rail Link Monthly Passes Cut Fares By Up To 90% For KLIA And Putrajaya Workers
Author Avatar

Express Rail Link (ERL) has introduced two new monthly travel passes offering reduced fares on its KLIA Transit service, targeted at Malaysians working at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and civil servants based in Putrajaya or Cyberjaya.

The MyKLIA Monthly TravelCard (MTC) and MyPutrajaya Monthly TravelCard (MTC) were launched at KLIA Terminal 2 on 5 May 2026. Both passes provide unlimited travel for 31 days on a single selected route, with reductions of up to 90% compared to standard monthly pass rates. They are available for purchase until 1 July 2026 and can be renewed once 31 days have elapsed.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke launched the passes as part of the government’s response to rising fuel costs linked to the ongoing Middle East conflict. ERL, as the rail concessionaire, will absorb the difference between the discounted and standard rates, with no direct government expenditure involved. Current ridership on the line stands at around 60%, and the passes are also intended to help bring that figure higher.

Fares Under The MyKLIA Monthly TravelCard

The MyKLIA MTC is open to Malaysian employees working at KLIA Terminal 1 or Terminal 2. Eligible workers can select from four routes, each covering travel between KLIA and a station along the KLIA Transit line.

RouteStandard Monthly RateMyKLIA MTC Rate
KLIA T1/T2 – Salak TinggiRM180RM150
KLIA T1/T2 – Putrajaya & CyberjayaRM230RM150
KLIA T1/T2 – Bandar Tasik SelatanRM345RM250
KLIA T1/T2 – KL SentralRM420RM250

The KL Sentral route sees the steepest reduction in absolute terms, dropping from RM420 to RM250 per month.

Fares Under The MyPutrajaya Monthly TravelCard

The MyPutrajaya MTC is available to Malaysian civil servants working or living in Putrajaya or Cyberjaya. The same route-select model applies, with each pass covering unlimited travel on the chosen sector for 31 days.

RouteStandard Monthly RateMyPutrajaya MTC Rate
Putrajaya & Cyberjaya – Salak TinggiRM110RM75
Putrajaya & Cyberjaya – Bandar Tasik SelatanRM195RM150
Putrajaya & Cyberjaya – KLIA T1/T2RM230RM150
Putrajaya & Cyberjaya – KL SentralRM350RM150

The Putrajaya to KL Sentral route offers the largest proportional saving among the two passes, reducing the monthly cost from RM350 to RM150.

Registration Steps Vary By Group

The two passes use different registration processes depending on who is applying.

If you are an employee at KLIA, your employer must first register your details with ERL by submitting a completed form to MyKLIA@KLIAekspres.com. Registration cannot be completed individually. Once verified, you will receive a confirmation email with login credentials within four working days, and can then purchase the pass through the KLIAekspres.com website or the KLIA Ekspres mobile app. The pass is loaded onto your MyKad, which must have an active Touch ‘n Go function.

If you are a civil servant working or living in Putrajaya or Cyberjaya, you can register directly online at mykad.KLIAekspres.com using your MyKad. A confirmation email will follow upon successful verification, after which the pass can be purchased and redeemed at selected stations. Only Malaysians are eligible for either pass.

Monthly Savings On A Regular Commute

For workers who already take ERL daily, the monthly savings are meaningful on several routes. An airport worker commuting between KLIA and KL Sentral would pay RM250 instead of RM420, saving RM170 per month. A civil servant on the Putrajaya to KL Sentral route would see that figure drop from RM350 to RM150, a saving of RM200 each month.

The pass is most cost-effective if rail is already your primary way of getting to work. Because the monthly fee covers unlimited rides on the chosen sector, more frequent use means a lower effective cost per trip. If you only commute by rail a few times a week, single-ticket pricing may still work out cheaper depending on how often you actually travel.

Access to the MyKLIA MTC depends on whether your employer participates. If your company has not submitted a registration form to ERL, individual applications are not possible. Loke specifically called on all KLIA Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 employers to register their staff as a group, and noted that broader company participation is key to making the initiative work.

The passes are currently part of a three-month pilot, with the government open to extending the programme if ridership response is strong. For regular commuters on these routes, the window to benefit runs until 1 July 2026, with renewal possible on a rolling monthly basis after that.
