Senior citizen card

I'm not going to say anything about my wife's age but suffice to say, she qualifies for a Senior Citizen's Touch-N-Go card from RapidKL. I applied for one many years ago and now, it is her turn. 

Thus, when we were in Kuala Lumpur recently, I brought her to the RapidKL registration outlet at the Pasar Seni station to apply for this card. It was a very simple and straight-forward process: the counter staff took her picture and issued the Touch-N-Go card immediately. No need to wait unless there was a long queue, and there was none except for a couple of visually impaired persons who we allowed to jump ahead of my wife. We didn't mind at all. 

The main benefit of this card is that it can be used at the automatic gates at a discount on RapidKL buses and both the MRT and LRT trains in the Klang Valley, although I don't know whether it is also applicable on the KTM Komuter trains. Forgot to seek clarification from the counter staff. The card will also be an emergency back-up for us back home in Penang should we ever need to use it to cross the Penang Bridge but obviously, it will be at full fare and not the discounted bridge rate.
