A cheap, easy and quick way to get to Kuala Kangsar from Ipoh is to take the KTM Komuter Ipoh to Kuala Kangsar train. These Northern Commuter (Komuter Utara) trains depart at fairly regular intervals throughout the day and are far less expensive than the ETS train services that also run on this route.
These cheap train services are scheduled to take
approximately
34 minutes to make the journey from KTM Ipoh railway station to
KTM Kuala Kangsar
railway station, only stopping once at Sungai Siput along the route.
That is only a few minutes more than the much more expensive ETS (Electric Train Services) that also operate from Ipoh to Kuala Kangsar.
