Booking Tickets on the ETS Train to Johor + Shuttle
You will need to buy two separate tickets to travel by train to Johor.
One ETS train ticket.
One Shuttle Train ticket.
We would advise you to book both your seats at the same time (as far in advance as you can) as trains in Malaysia can often be full during busy holiday periods, weekends and religious festivals.
To book advance train tickets you can:
Visit any KTM ticket counter, at any main railway station within Peninsular Malaysia.
Or take the easier option and book your seats online, either directly from the KTM website, or through an online ticket agent.
Visit our KTM booking page here for more information >
Advance booking periods for trains in Malaysia can vary quite considerably.
Sometimes you can book two to three months in advance - sometimes just a few weeks in advance.
It all depends on whether KTM is planning one of their frequent timetable changes.
