Tips to Buy Train Tickets
  • Book in Advance
    Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) usually releases ETS and Intercity train schedules several weeks ahead. Booking early helps secure the best fares and preferred seats, especially for weekends, holidays, and popular routes like Kuala Lumpur to Penang or Ipoh.
  • Be Flexible​
    If your travel dates and times are flexible, you’ll have a wider choice of trains and may find better prices. Travelling outside peak periods ensures smoother boarding and a more relaxed journey.
  • Choose Off-Peak Times
    Travelling on weekdays or during non-holiday periods often results in lower ticket prices and fewer passengers. Off-peak travel lets you enjoy a quieter, more comfortable experience onboard.
  • Use Rail Passes for Discounts
    If you’re planning several train journeys within Malaysia, consider checking available KTM or regional passes. These can offer savings and added convenience for exploring multiple destinations.
  • Check for Special Offers
    Look out for seasonal promotions or limited-time deals on platforms like Rail Ninja. Discounts are often available for advance purchases or selected routes, providing excellent value for travellers.
