Not necessarily.

If the fare really at RM 120, we have to look at other examples...

Bus option is RM 50, but takes 8 hours.

Airline, fare itself can be more than RM 120 one way, if book last minute, but then KLIA 2 is very far from the city.

So, electric train, which takes 4 hours from Gombak to KB at RM 120 is pretty competitive.

If I using a car for example Myvi 1.3 (17km/L) , petrol price at RM2.3/L is equal to RM0.13/km.

Look like the train is running more expensive.

On first glance RM120 looks a bit pricey, especially for Kelantan people with lower average income. But if you consider the fact that:
> It's distance is 600km+.
> It will cut road traveling time nearly by half to 4 hours.

Then I would say this is a fair price.
I don't know about you guys but if I'm from Kelantan I'll take this train anytime.

Raya with family of 4 person will be RM120x4=RM480.

What is the price using a car ?
