The MyRapid Card 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 on November 2011 as well as  8  Monorail Line on February 2012.[1] rapidKuantan buses in Pahang adopted the MyRapid card in 2015.

Abolition

The MyRapid 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 MyRapid card will instead be phased out and replaced with the co-branded MyRapid Touch 'n Go cards beginning 15 June 2017. The existing MyRapid cards will no longer be valid effective 16 July 2017, the day before the Semantan-Kajang MRT line is scheduled to commence operations. Existing MyRapid-based concession cards for students, disabled persons and senior citizens will also be replaced with the Touch 'n Go-based cards. [2]

MyRapid cards are sold, distributed and managed by Prasarana Malaysia Berhad.
