with the KTM poor track records, are they reliable ?

why are these documentaries are done by the sinkies.. Where's RTM??

will RTM buys the content rights with them later?

Still need HSR? To line pockets?

Northbound ETS is reliable.

so far the north side on is good.

jealous they have it for years.

i am looking forward to this actually.

no more crazy ticketing with the airlines.

these days the arilines are really like acting like a hole.

because this project benefit Singaporean as well.

bila siap n how much ?

something tells me u hv never taken ETS before

Once it's ready I'm planning a trip to Legoland.

Lazy wanna drive lel

We should have ETS until Singapore since KTM last station is there

ETS have been very reliable and on time for North

Padang Besar -> Kuala Lumpur

ETS making Mani. So it is reliable. Komuter kenot make. Those are abandoned child.

KTM should intro local and foreigners fare system

mesti nak support KTM ya

I can't wait for this. Going Penang I also prefer train over plane, especially appointments at mainland area.

That station soon to be demolished.

i never take before

hopefully it wont disappoint when this route open

Legoland good for kids. Adults not really

90min tak mau?

ETS and KTM is like heaven and earth

from RM 77 BTS to Kluang, then Kluang spend another RM 15 to JB, total 4.5 hours
if ETS JB open also 4 Hours

bus RM 40, which one you want to take ?

ETS would end at JB Sentral where RTS is nearby. KTM woodland is not connected to any MRT. But it should be continued to serve other needs cos RTS can only serve 10k/hour.

flight

Compared i drive myself from KV to Ipoh hometown. I rather ETS train anytime if i go back hometown alone.

Travel time cut short from average 3 hours to 2 hours. Just that its a bit expensive. 1 person round trip already almost rm100.

A bit cheaper than travel by car using highway toll and fuel. But if travel with family of 3. More expensive than driving edi.

I can relax, go toilet anytime i want. Chilled on the alleyway between coach when i feel im sitting too long.

Hmm maybe just the seat feel a bit small and underpadded. Will brush aside the side passenger. Or maybe im getting fat. Coz last time just 60kg. Nowadays 67-68kg.

Pricing really boleh tahan for KL-Kluang, for total travel time that's roughly the same

3.5 hour
So slow.

Hsr is the future

ets and ktm are 2 different thing, heaven and earth level, ets > ktm

ETS at least I know i will arrive in one piece

Bus .. hmm, one piece, several pieces, one box ... depends on your luck, which jackpot you hit

disgusting Nepo and GLC kronies still ruling KTM, just look at their board

Dang slow train
Dun understand which gen the train is

One day how many trains back and forth?

Now ktard can take ETS to Singapore to work, and come back and stay in KL at night. Spend 3 hours sleeping on the train each trip, that is already 6 hours sleep. Enough rest.

so? go johor bahru got wat there?

The KTM kommuter is not realiable because they sacrifice its reliability so that other train routes are more reliable.

KTM no longer has any station in Singapore since Najib PM time, no? Now the last stop is at JB center, integrated with immigration. And then there is an hourly train going to Singapore immigration located at Woodland. Outside the Singapore immigration there is a bus stop with lots of buses which can fetch you to various MRT stations in Singapore, all accepting Malaysia credit cards for fare payment.

I always pity the Klang and Shah Alam people because they had to rely on KTM Komuter for so many years just to get into KL for work. Now at least got LRT 3 soon, their suffering would at least be reduced significantly.

That sg immi train station (at woodlands) will soon be demolished once the Shutter Tebrau ceased operation after RTS in operation.

That will be an improvement since RTS is more frequent.

If 1 person travel worth it
More than 1 , a car is much practical and cheaper

ktm and their eternal kvdt project....

buy more ets better than hsr.

no need another separate entity

Tak pernah naik ets? For me, never missed a train using it

that is not fast right

ktm is just an operator. blame the fat fuck who know who.

Tickets always sold out!

I hope Shutter Tebrau would continue as an alternative cos 10k commuters /hour for RTS might not be ideal during peak time.

Pergi balik how much if 5 family memebrs. 3.5 hours same like car ah.what is max speed?

It is already been planned to shut down once RTS goes into service though.

Compared to China’s HSR or Japanese Shinkansen, it’s about 1/2 of their speed but compared to other countries without high speed rails including US, the speed is actually commendable as it’s the same speed as US highest speed trains.

Yes it will be travelling faster than the highway speed of 110kmh. ETS should be sufficient, money saved from HSR can be used for 2nd/3rd MRT link to SG, transport network in JB n those ETS station towns.
MY future economy now depends on the success of JSSEZ.

In US, Brightline has a maximum speed of 200 kph, Amtrak Acela has a maximum speed of 250 kph.

The US high-speed train with the highest current top speed is the NextGen Acela, reaching 160 mph on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. However, Brightline's upcoming high-speed rail line, Brightline West, will reach a higher top speed of 190 mph when it opens between Las Vegas and Los Angeles in 2028.

ETS trains can reach a record speed of 176 km/h but they usually run at 120 to 160 km/h.

Should convert all the mph to kph, so that the readers have a better idea.

Mana ada now

Nice I want to take this train.

Hopefully can do it. 160km/hr is no slough . Of course 200km/hr is even better!!!

Will they have like family coaches, or beds for trips from JB all the way to Butterworth for example?

Add in check in time, tunggu passenger times
4 hours

I took the ETS to Ipoh and Penang before

Very nice and better than taking bus or driving there

You never take trains before kah?

What check in time?

What tunggu passengers time?

Some Malaysian really cannot say anything positive about the country

I would take ETS to JB and then RTS to Singapore instead of bus or flight or self drive.
