Working out the prices of ETS train tickets in Malaysia has now become much more complicated.
For bookings made from the 1st of March '20, KTM has introduced a new ETS Flexi Fare (Tambang Flexi ETS) system.
This means ticket prices for ETS trains will vary depending on a number of factors:
1) The earlier you book, the cheaper the ticket:
Early Bird Tickets will be the cheapest tickets available (for booking made over 30 days in advance).
Followed by Intermediate Tickets (booked 6 to 30 days in advance).
Last Minute Tickets (booked 6 days or less in advance) will be the most expensive.
2) The period you want to travel in:
Super Peak - Federal Public Holidays and School Holidays
Peak - State Public Holidays.
Off Peak - All other periods.
3) The day you want to travel:
Weekdays - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (off peak).
Weekends - Friday, Saturday, Sunday (peak).
4) The time of day you travel:
Peaks Hours - 6am to 10am and 5pm to 9pm.
Off Peak Hours - All other times.
Please Also Note: There are now new, more expensive Business Class tickets available on all Platinum ETS2 train services.
The only way to now find an actual fare for a particular train is to:
Go direct to the KTMB.com.my website and put in your travel dates in their search box >

Actual fares paid will now vary depending on the new Flexi Fare rules shown above, so use this price list as a rough guide only.
