ETS Flexi Fares - Tambang Fleksi

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 >
