KTM Komuter
KTM Komuter is a commuter rail system in Malaysia operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM). It was introduced in 1995 to provide local rail services in Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding Klang Valley suburban areas. Services were later expanded to other parts of Malaysia with the introduction of the Northern and Southern sectors.
The service uses air-conditioned electric multiple units in 3 and 6 car formations.
KTM Komuter contributed RM146.2 million to group revenue in 2017, carrying a total of 37.235 million passengers. The total number of passengers travelling with KTM Komuter in 2017 shows a decrease of 10.2%. This can be attributed to reduced service frequency due to the ongoing Klang Valley Double Tracking (KVDT) rehabilitation project.
KTM Komuter's 287 km (179 mi) network in the Central Sector mainly covers the Klang Valley. It has a total 58 stations. It consists of two cross-city routes, namely the Batu Caves–Pulau Sebang Line and the Tanjung Malim–Port Klang Line, and the airport rail link KL Sentral–Terminal Skypark Line.
Transfers between the two city lines can be made at any of the four stations on the central core: KL Sentral, Kuala Lumpur, Bank Negara and Putra, with the latter 3 providing same-platform or cross-platform interchanges.
The KL Sentral–Terminal Skypark Line is a limited express airport rail link service for passengers headed towards the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (Subang Airport). Running between KL Sentral and Terminal Skypark, it makes one intermediate stop at Subang Jaya, before branching off to the airport. The service is the second airport rail link in Malaysia after the Express Rail Link. However, it is temporarily suspended due to low ridership.
The routes have been modified over the years. Previously, the Batu Caves-Pulau Sebang line (formerly, Seremban Line) trains would head towards Tanjung Malim while the Tanjung Malim-Port Klang line (formerly, Port Klang Line) trains would head to Batu Caves. Following a successful trial, the routes were swapped. Trains from Seremban began heading towards Batu Caves, while trains from Port Klang headed towards Tanjung Malim. The train service from Seremban was extended permanently to Pulau Sebang/Tampin, hence the current name of the line.
The service is subject to overcrowding during rush hours. Several steps were taken to alleviate this. Firstly, the operator introduced a new queuing system, in which the lines are painted on the floor with three colour codes representing each of the train set. Trains were also run in 3+3 formations, although this has been discontinued with the introduction of six-car sets.
