A cheap, easy and quick way to travel to Ipoh from Parit Buntar is to take the KTM Parit Buntar to Ipoh Komuter train. These Northern Commuter (Komuter Utara) trains depart at fairly regular intervals throughout the day and are much cheaper than the ETS train services that also run on this route.
These cheap KTM trains are scheduled to take approximately one hour and 25 minutes to make the journey from KTM Parit Buntar railway station to KTM Ipoh railway station, stopping at the following stations along the route - Bagan Serai - Kamunting - Taiping - Padang Rengas - Kuala Kangsar - Sungai Siput - Ipoh.
That is only slightly slower than travelling on one of the much more expensive ETS (Electric Train Services) that also operate from Parit Buntar to
Ipoh.

This is much cheaper than the ETS train.
However, seats on KTM Komuter trains are on a first come, first served basis with a row of seats along either side of the carriages, then a large central aisle for standing passengers.
This means you may have to stand for part of the journey before a seat becomes available.

If you want to travel by ETS train, you should book your tickets as far in advance as you can.
