There are lots of news flashes and articles on the Electric Train Service or ETS from JB Sentral to KL Sentral. Until now no tickets available on sales. So much publicity and systems is falling behind. They are trying to generate interest and demand. I took the train from KL to Kluang. I was the only passenger in the coach. I think it demand is low due to the timing. The train leaves at 745am KL Sentral.
I am also starting to be skeptical when the initial news said 12 trips daily. Now the reports are says 12 trips when fully operational. Also the 12 trips are two ways. This actually means 6 trips per day each way.
The price is quite high at RM 90 which is 3 times the price of bus. The first month there will be a discount of 30%. Still high but very competitive vs bus since the comfort of the train and timing certainty.
