On this page you will find links to all the KTM Kuala Lumpur train times and fares for all the popular tourist destinations on Peninsular Malaysia that are linked by the KTM Berhad Railways system.
All trains depart from Kuala Lumpur old train station (Terminal KTM / stesen keretapi Kuala Lumpur) as well as KL's transport hub and the main, modern railway station in the city, KL Sentral Station.
KL's old railway station is just a few minutes by train from KL Sentral Station and now all ETS Trains stop here.

From Pasar Seni station, you can connect to LRT trains on the Kelana Jaya Line or MRT trains on the SBK Line.
You can also use this new bridge to easily get from KTM Kuala Lumpur to Chinatown with the walk to Petaling Street taking around 10 minutes.
