KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 (Bernama) -- Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTMB) will introduce two new ETS services for the Kluang - KL Sentral - Kluang sector, operating every weekend starting Oct 10.
KTMB said the new services will offer 315 seats for each train, including a Business Class coach, and will specifically operate on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
“This initiative not only complements the existing daily schedule, but also provides a major convenience for residents in Kluang to travel to Kuala Lumpur faster, more comfortably and without having to deal with weekend traffic congestion.
“With the shorter ETS journey, users now have more options to plan work matters, meetings, or family holidays to the capital,” KTMB said in a statement here today.
According to KTMB, the schedule for the new service involves a journey departing Kluang at 9.33 am and arriving at KL Sentral at 1.00 pm, while the return trip will depart KL Sentral at 5.35 pm and arrive in Kluang at 9.08 pm.
Tickets for the service will be available through the KTMB Mobile (KITS) app, kiosks, or KTMB’s official website starting tomorrow at 10 am.
On Aug 30, KTMB introduced the daily ETS service for the KL Sentral–Kluang sector, which received overwhelming response with 4,461 passengers recorded on weekdays (Monday to Thursday) until Sept 28.
During the same period, 6,412 passengers were recorded using the service on weekends (Friday to Sunday), bringing the total to 10,873 passengers.
“KTMB is always attentive to the needs of customers and will continue to assess the potential of adding more trips according to demand, including during festive seasons, school holidays and long breaks.
“This step also provides the public with a more flexible, convenient and efficient travel option, especially for Kluang residents travelling to Kuala Lumpur,” the statement added.
