ETS Johor Bahru Melaka Train Timetables - KTM Fares 2026
Travel between Johor Bahru and Melaka (Malacca) on the KTM ETS Johor Bahru Melaka Train requires you to travel to the nearest railway station to Melaka, Tampin (also called Pulau Sebang), then continue your journey by taxi or local public bus.
Travel to Melaka has gotten easier and much quicker now that the ETS trains are operating between JB and KL.
Travelling by train from JB Sentral Train Station to Melaka is an interesting way to go, but it is easier to catch a direct bus from Johor Bahru to Melaka Sentral Bus Station.
