With these two additional trains, a total of 630 extra tickets can be sold per day which will bring the total tickets sold to 3,780 tickets including business class coaches. This addition is in anticipation of the foreseen high demand of passengers during the festive season. Furthermore this initiative is to further encourage travellers to use public transport instead of driving should they opt to return to travel during this festive holiday.
KTMB also encourages passengers to obtain their tickets via the KTM Mobile application (KITS) or on the KTMB website www.ktmb.com.my. Both these platforms offer passengers a safe and convenient cashless ticket purchasing option.
