What is ETS?

ETS stands for Electric Train Service, an intercity rail service operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB). ETS connects major towns and cities along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The current network includes stations from Padang Besar near the Malaysia–Thailand border in the north to JB Sentral in Johor Bahru in the south, with services through major destinations such as Butterworth, Ipoh, KL Sentral, Seremban and Gemas.

ETS Train Service

ETS provides a comfortable way to travel between major destinations in Peninsular Malaysia without driving or flying. Different ETS trains have different stopping patterns and journey times. Some services operate over shorter sections of the network, while others connect destinations across much longer distances. Travellers should therefore check the latest timetable for their specific departure and destination stations before booking.

ETS Train Classes

ETS services are offered under different service categories, including ETS Express, ETS Platinum and ETS Gold, depending on the train and route. Journey times and the number of stops vary between services. Instead of choosing based only on the service category, passengers should compare the actual departure time, arrival time and available seats when planning their journey. The current KTMB timetable identifies services using EX, EP and EG train codes.

ETS Train Routes

The ETS network serves many popular destinations across Peninsular Malaysia, including JB Sentral, KL Sentral, Ipoh, Taiping, Butterworth, Alor Setar, Arau and Padang Besar. KL Sentral is an important interchange for travellers in Kuala Lumpur, Butterworth provides convenient access to Penang, while Padang Besar is located at the Malaysia–Thailand border.
