Loke: Rail pass integration faces operational hurdles

The Star

The integration of the Rapid KL travel pass with KTMB Komuter services is currently difficult due to differences in operators, systems, routes and operating costs, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke.  While Rapid KL is operated by Prasarana, KTMB Komuter covers longer inter-state routes with higher operating costs, making full integration of fare systems like My50 challenging.  Loke said both services remain government-supported public transport systems that are not profit-driven, but still require cost recovery to sustain operations.

00:00My 50 and My Train, there is a possibility to integrate on top of existing, because we know that there

00:13is a lot of people who need to go back to work.

00:17Yes, this is a question that is a long time ago, because it is the first two operators that are

00:23related to LRT, MRT, Monorail.

00:30It is managed by Pasana.

00:32And for Komuter, it is managed by KTMB.

00:35That first is, the first is managed by two operators.

00:40That second is, the system that is.

00:43That third is, the trip for Komuter that is more interstate, not only in the place.

00:51Klang. Umpamanya untuk komputer

00:53dia boleh sejauh

00:55daripada tampin ataupun

00:57daripada gemas

00:58sampai ke Klang

01:01sampai ke Lembah Klang. Kalau

01:03utara sampai ke Tanjung Malim. Jadi

01:05kos untuk pengendalian itu

01:07jauh berbeza. Jadi

01:09adalah agak mustahil untuk

01:11kita integrate My50E ini

01:13untuk semua perkhidmatan.

01:16Itu sesuatu yang

01:17tak dapat dilaksanakan.

01:19Sebab itu di bawah kendalian

01:22KTM.

01:23Walaupun KTM juga JLC.

01:25Mereka kena recoup sebahagian

01:27kos itu. Untuk

01:29pastikan kelangsungan perkhidmatan.

01:31Sekarang ini bukannya kita

01:33berorientasikan keuntungan. Saya

01:35nak membetulkan persepsi bahawa

01:37ada orang ingat bahawa Prasarana

01:39dengan KTMB ini sentiasa ingat untung

01:41saja. Tak ada. Kedua-dua

01:43syarikat ini adalah syarikat

01:45milik kerajaan. KTMB

01:47Prasarana. Tak pernah

01:49ada untung pun. Setiap

01:51tahun sebenarnya ada funding gap yang

01:53besar yang perlu ditanggung oleh

01:54kerajaan. KTMB umpamanya

01:56kita punya funding gap

01:57300 juta ringgit

01:59daripada kerajaan.

02:01Jadi bukannya perkhidmatan ini

02:03bukannya berorientasikan

02:04keuntungan.

02:05Tetapi untuk memastikan

02:07kelangsungan perkhidmatan

02:08sebahagian kos itu perlu kita

02:10record. Tetapi pada masa yang sama

02:12kita amat memahami

02:14keperluan rakyat. Itu sebabnya

02:16kita nak pastikan perkhidmatan ini

02:18adalah sesuatu yang

02:20berbaloi dan juga

02:21agak burah untuk dibayar oleh

02:23pihak pengguna.

02:24Jadi itu

02:25kita harap fahamlah.

02:27terima kasih.

02:28Terima kasih.

02:35Terima kasih.
