MyRapid Student card application

Since I have mentioned in the previous post that I have to go to KL sentral to buy ticket in order to enjoy 35% discount.
Going there, I have to take bus to and fro LRT station, which costs RM1 per trip, and then LRT to n fro, which costs approximately RM3 per trip.
so, Is it worth going there to get RM24 discount, when I will have to pay RM10 going there?
Well, for student, it is still worth it, but to cut down on this expenses.
I have to apply MyRapid student card! to enjoy 50% discount!
for more information, please refer to these 2 website.

Well, like KTMi-card, I failed to apply at the first attempt too.

See what I get at the first attempt XD

So as you see, the confirmation letter have to state the date I finish my study/graduate.
This is why I failed =o=


Application Procedure

1. Get the student confirmation letter: 
• NAME
• I/C
• Student card number
• Date you start your study & DATE YOU END YOUR STUDY (your study duration must be above 6 months from date of application)
2. Photocopy your Identity Card (IC) and Student Card
3. Bring RM10 (RM5 for the fee, RM5 for top-up)
4. Go to the MyRapid Bus Hub, beside the Pasar Seni LRT station
   *Monday - Sunday, from 9am to 5pm

Similarly, there will be a staff at the counter checking your documents, then only you will get the queue number.

After submission, I was given a receipt, for claiming the card, with a date stamp (the date when I can get the card, which was 2 weeks after)

KTMB i-card application

As a student studying away from home, these two cards are very important. I strongly advised everyone to make this.

KTMi-card
With i-card, you can have 40% discount for taking intercity train or ETS service.
Without using i-card, I have to pay RM61 buying ticket online for ticket Butterworth-KL sentral (RM59 fare & RM2 fees for buying e-ticket).
With using i-card, I buy the ticket for ETS Gold at RM35.
Well, after calculated, it is not 40% discount but 35% only though, it is still A LOT)

Besides, you can get 50% discount for taking commuter in Klang Valley.

To apply for this card, I went to KL sentral on 26th February 2016, which was Friday.
I reached KTMB counter at KL sentral 2nd Floor at 8:50am, and the daily quota for application is already reached O.O
I just managed to take a photo like this to remind me well-prepared

Well, Beware that the quota is no longer 300, but OOONLY 200 application

Having researched online, I went for 2nd time on 4th March 2016, Friday.

KTMi-card Application Procedure

1. Download the application form and student verification form from the official website, KTM Berhad Website for downloading form
   *You have to use the student verification form of KTMB. The verification letter issued by your IPTA/IPTS will not be accepted.
2. Photocopy your Identity Card (IC) and student card
3. Have RM31.80 in your pocket (RM30 for application fee, RM1.80 for GST)
   *The person-in-charge who give you queue number will staple your money on the documents, so preferably NOTES without Coins.
4. Go to the 9 and 10 counter of Counter, located at Level 2, KL sentral
   Working hour for these counter, Monday - Friday, 0830-1900  (stated by other blogger. They do only open from Mon to Fri, but working hour, not sure)

For 2nd attempt, I reached KL sentral at 06:50am and there were already 5 people before me.

about 7:30am the staff giving application number reached. This is the CRUCIAL TIME! When the staff was on her seat, EVERYONE will rush to there and queue, despite the time you reached. If you are slower, you will queue at the back. So when you sit while waiting, pick a seat nearer to the table.
At first, we had 2 queues and merged into 1 after being scolded. so in the end, I was the 12th.

at 8:40am, the quota was reached. In average, 1 card is issued every 6 minutes, from my observation.

I got my card at 8:50 and bought a ticket going home on that day XD

The disadvantage of this card is that you have to go to ticket counter and pay by cash to enjoy the discount.
