The My Rapid Touch 'n Go is a contactless smart card used for the payment of public transportation fares of Rapid KL services in Malaysia, with limited use in the parking payments for Rapid KL Park N Ride facilities.

Introduced in July 2011, it is extended to 3 4 LRT Sri Petaling Line and 5 LRT Kelana Jaya Line in November 2011 as well as 8 Monorail Line in February 2012.[1] Rapid Kuantan buses in Pahang adopted the MyRapid card in 2015.

Abolition

The My Rapid card was initially planned to be also accepted on the 9 MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line once the Semantan-Kajang stretch opens. According to an announcement by Prasarana, the My Rapid card will instead be phased out and replaced with the co-branded My Rapid Touch 'n Go cards beginning 15 June 2017. The existing My Rapid cards will no longer be valid effective 16 July 2017, the day before the Semantan-Kajang MRT line is scheduled to commence operations. Existing My Rapid-based concession cards for students, disabled persons and senior citizens will also be replaced with the My Rapid Touch 'n Go-based cards.[2]

My Rapid Touch 'n Go cards are sold, distributed and managed by Prasarana Malaysia Berhad.
