KTM to Bangi

I’m planning to buy a property in dengkil and commute to Midvalley through KTM. There’s direct KTM service, but not sure how reliable it is in terms of timing etc ? If I’m okay with 1hr, is that a viable decision?

my colleague travel daily from seremban to KL, looks ok so far, but recently they cancel some trains then combines together.

If you have the patience of 1 hour waiting time + sardine pack.

Yes all ok.

+- 1/2 hours

You taking morning one. Komuter arriving Bangi station usually no available seat. Be prepared to stand until Mid Valley.

Komuter is useless. Please consider other alternatives

KTM is getting worse. in KL Sentral now operating 2 platform instead of 4. you have to think if KTM service delayed or suspended, do you have other alternative?

That one day my friend missed an 8:00pm train at KL Sentral just by a few seconds. The door closed just right in front of him.

The next train? 9:00pm.

Since then he drives to work lol

One hr? I thought their frequency is every 20min ..,

That’s good point. Thanks. I think grab would be a rip off.. Maybe KL transit express to Putrajaya and then some connection..

Ic. Thanks for that info 🙏 Google says 40 min from bangi to Midvalley.

You'd be a fool if you trust ktm. There's frequent train breakdown/system issue, especially if raining.

If raining, u better check their twitter first or prepare plan B. Learn to use bus or LRT if available nearby your place

Your work day is at the mercy of KTM. Not the wisest choice unless you have a car that you can use when KTM fcuk up, which as most user here can attest, happens frequently.

ktm = kena tipu man

timing of arrival not accurate, can deviates for over half an hour
from time to time, break down happens and can last for days
sometimes after you get on train, then the train stop halfway waiting for other trains whatever, end up still delay for over half an hour

in short, don't count on the same experiences as LRT or MRT. delay or miss train can and will happen. expect late for work due to ktm issue.

KTM is currenly undergoing upgrading works since 2016, but their service has been terribly affected.

Here from Rawang - KL sentral, trains come about once per hour, which makes it too unreliable. Miss that one train and you'll have to be late for work or late for dinner

Thanks everyone, KTM eems pretty unreliable. I hope Govt is listening to this...

Dengkil?
Better take ERL from Putrajaya until TBS then interchange LRT to Midvalley.
Or
ERL until KL sentral and interchange to Midvalley.

Thanks for the tips.. I’ll check..

Erl is expensive for one way ticket. Better u check season pass. Where u work? If u stay at Puchong can straight take lrt Puchong perdana. 2nd or 3rd earliest train if l remember correctly. Still got.seat

ktm is so bad right now that they dont even publish their ridership this year...
