Finally! KTM has officially announced that its ETS train service to JB Sentral will start on December 12, which is this Friday. Four existing KL Sentral – Kluang – KL Sentral services will be extended to Johor Bahru daily for this, and you can check out the schedule below.
Tickets are open for sale today, December 9, on the KITS Style app, kiosks and KTM’s official website. One can buy tickets from December 12 till May 2026, so JB folks can ride the train home for next year’s Chinese New Year and Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations.
KL Sentral to JB Sentral ticket prices start from RM82. KTM is offering a 30% discount for tickets from December 12 to January 11, 2026 with the promo code JBBEST, which is limited to 5,000 uses.
With the opening of the tracks from Kluang to JB, the ETS will also stop at Rengam, Layang-Layang, Kulai and Kempas Baru before terminating at JB Sentral, so it’s also good news for those living in these southern towns. Coming soon is a 25 km Komuter Selatan service from JB Sentral to Kulai, which is expected to cut peak-hour travel time from one hour by car to just 30 minutes by train.

RM82 is too expensive. They should introduce silver at RM50 to be slightly higher than the bus price and gold at RM65.
the platinum (including food) could be set at RN100. the timings are awful. in the morning there should be a platinum service at 5 or 5.30am to reach jb by 8.30am for people who need to be there in the morning in JB or Singapore for business or work purposes. the return from JB to KL at 4.20pm is ridiculous. many people would like to go back after work including from Singapore. they should depart at 6.30pm and arrive at 11.00pm in KL. i dont know what guys who do scheduling are using. Also make sure there are connecting trians to ipoh and padang besar until direct services are introduced.
