Anthony Loke pushes for My50 subsidised travel pass continuation in budget 2025

Transport Minister Anthony Loke has expressed strong support for the continuation of the My50 subsidised monthly travel pass in the upcoming Budget 2025. The My50 pass, which provides unlimited rides on Rapid KL rail and bus services for just RM50 a month, has been a vital lifeline for many Malaysians, particularly those in the B40 income group.

Introduced as part of the government's initiative to ease the financial burden of daily commuters, the My50 pass has been praised for its affordability and convenience. With the escalating cost of living, Loke believes that maintaining this subsidy is crucial to ensure that public transportation remains accessible to all, especially those who rely on it for their daily commute.

In a recent statement, Loke emphasized the importance of the My50 pass in promoting the use of public transportation, reducing traffic congestion, and lowering carbon emissions in urban areas. He highlighted that the initiative aligns with the government's broader goals of sustainability and inclusivity.

As Budget 2025 discussions approach, Loke is expected to advocate for the allocation of funds to continue this program, ensuring that it remains available to the public. The My50 pass, which has already benefited thousands, could see an increase in usage if the subsidy is extended, further enhancing the overall efficiency and appeal of public transport in Malaysia.

The Transport Minister’s push for the My50 subsidised travel pass underlines the government’s commitment to supporting the rakyat during challenging economic times. Commuters and public transport users across the Klang Valley will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of these budgetary discussions, hoping that this essential service will continue to be part of their daily lives.
