Distance System

The Kuala Lumpur Monorail operates on a distance based fare system. Ticket prices range depending on the number of stations travelled. Ticket prices also depend on your payment method, where if you are paying by Journey Token you’re subjected to a slightly more expensive ‘cash fare’ versus paying by a Cashless smart card.

How to Board & Exit The Monorail

Follow signs for the Monorail and pass through the turnstile by tapping an appropriate payment method (Myrapid TouchandGo card, Concession pass, KL Travelpass, MyCity Pass, or a Journey Token ). Line up according to the arrow indicators and stand before the passage doors. Allow passengers to exit before boarding. The Monorail will make automated stops so there is no need to request stops. Upon reaching your destination, tap your payment method once again at the exiting turnstile to leave.

Transfer Rules

There are no discounted fares or shared tickets when transferring between transit options. The rapidKL rail network fares are distance based. You can move from one line to another (eg. LRT, MRT) at an interchange station. If you are transferring from one line to another, instead of depositing your token, just tap it on your exit. When you purchased your fare, your token is programmed to know that you'll have to transfer and will let you out of one line and give you entrance to the next. If you are transferring from one line to another and paid your fare using a smart card, just tap the card when exiting.
