PULAU PINANG, 3 January – Rapid Ferry Sdn. Bhd – a subsidiary of Prasarana Malaysia Berhad (Prasarana) and operator of Feri Pulau Pinang, is extending its student concession card privilege to all students under the age of 21 years including foreign students.

The new initiative takes immediate effect and replaces the previous ruling that allows only students from government schools, Rapid Ferry said in a statement here today.  

In submitting their applications, students are required to bring along a copy of the IC or their student card at Rapid Ferry kiosks at Pangkalan Sultan Abdul Halim.  

“We refer to an application from a student from Penang Chung Ling Private High School application, which was highlighted by a local media today. We would like to confirm that his application was approved on the same day,” the statement added. 

With the concession season pass, students only pay RM6 for a two-months pass validity. Normal season pass is priced at RM30 for a two-month pass validity.    

For further information, applicants can call 04-313 6803 or visit the Rapid Ferry kiosk at Pangkalan Sultan Abdul Halim.
