Meanwhile, KTMB informed that the travel needs of Southern sector passengers will continue to be strengthened through the full operation of electric train services (ETS) to JB Sentral with eight services a day, starting January 1 2026.
“With the completion of this ETS service, passengers can now enjoy a more modern, user-friendly and environmentally friendly journey, in addition to offering more efficient travel times, as well as a safer and more comfortable travel experience.
