Big news, KTM Komuter riders. In addition to the rescheduling of KTM ETS services from KL Sentral – JB Sentral from April 18, KTM Komuter services in the Klang Valley will also see reduced frequency in a schedule restructuring starting on the same date.
This is to make way for the Klang Valley Double Tracking Phase 2 (KVDT2) project, where a 67 km stretch from Salak Selatan to Seremban will be worked on from April 18 till the end of 2026. Only one track will be in use, which necessitates the schedule restructuring.
So, from April 18, the KTM Komuter Pulau Sebang – Batu Caves – Pulau Sebang route will see five morning peak hour services with a frequency of 15 and 30 minutes. The evening rush hour will see another five trains running on 15 and 30 minute intervals. On weekends, it’s two trains instead of five.
Throughout this period, there will be no Komuter trains running from 10am till 4pm for the Midvalley – Pulau Sebang and Pulau Sebang – Bandar Tasik Selatan routes. Also, there will be a full track closure between Salak Selatan and Seremban stations from 10pm till 6am daily for ‘more intensive’ works.
KTM says that as part of its operational planning, there will be an optimisation of train set usage on this route, including optimising passenger capacity in the northern sector to ensure that the level of service can be sustained throughout the KVDT2 project implementation.
Kesulitan hari ini demi keselesaan masa depan, and folks from other areas in the Klang Valley have also ‘done their part’. Click on the infographic above for an overview of the changes.
