KTM Bukit Mertajam Schedule (Jadual) 2024
ETS and Komuter Train

The KTM Bukit Mertajam Railway Station (stesen keretapi) is located in Permatang Rawa, Seberang Perai in the state of Penang and is on the Malaysian Railways West Coast Line.

Bukit Mertajam (BM), is where the railway line branches off to take trains from the main West Coast Railway Line to a branch line that travels to the port of Butterworth (Penang Sentral), just across the water from the island of Penang (Pulau Pinang).

Like most train stations in this area of Malaysia, a new station has been built at Bukit Mertajam, the dual-track is finished and now the new ETS Trains have been put into service, starting from July 2015.

BM is also the new interchange station for the new northern commuter (KTM Komuter Utara Trains) that operate two different routes.

The Butterworth - Padang Besar route and the Butterworth / Bukit Mertajam - Ipoh route.
