Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) has an impressive railway network across Malaysia – one that travels the breadth and width of the Peninsula, providing the country with regular passenger services. These tracks take travellers across the Peninsula to neighbouring countries like Thailand in the north and Singapore in the south.

There’s also the KTM Komuter, a suburban railway service that runs outside Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya. This fully air-conditioned service provides visitors with comfortable and speedy inter-city travel within the country.

STAR (Light Rail Transit System)

If you don’t fancy driving within KL, try the efficient, comfortable and congestion-free STAR and Putra Light Rail Transit (LRT) services that make getting around KL a breeze. Transits between the KTMB train, Komuter and LRTs can be done at KL Sentral – Malaysia’s primary rail transportation hub.

Furthermore, there is the KLIA Ekspres – a nonstop service from KLIA to KL Sentral in about 30 minutes!

As for Sabah and Sarawak, there’s only one railway connecting Kota Kinabalu to Tenom on the west coast of Sabah. There are no rail services in Sarawak.
