To travel on any ETS train service in Malaysia you will need to reserve a seat.
There are no standing passengers allowed.
You should also book your tickets as far in advance as you can as ETS trains can often be full and if you turn up at the station expecting to get a ticket on the day of travel you will often not be able to buy a ticket for that day.
Buying an advance ETS ticket is fairly simple.
You can either:
1) Go to any ETS railway station within Malaysia and purchase your tickets from the ticketing counter.
2) Book tickets online directly from the KTMB official website or through an online agent (booking fees may apply).
