Extra Trains for Thaipusam

KTM Komuter general manager Mohd Hider Yusoff said  more than 100,000 people were expected to use the services  during the festival compared to 80,000 last year.

  During the two-day festival which began yesterday , KTMB  provided 200 special train services and 20 additional KTM  Komuter services within every 30 minutes frequency.

  Shuttle services for the Kuala Lumpur-Batu Caves-Kuala  Lumpur routes operate at every 15 minutes.

  "We are committed to providing good service to our  customers as to make sure the trains arrive on time,” he  said.

  Hider said the additional train services will help reduce  traffic congestion in the city.

  “We would like to urge as many people as possible to use  the special trains from Kuala Lumpur Sentral to Batu Caves  or take the additional trains rather than driving,” he  added.

  He also advised passengers to take care of their essential  items while in the trains.
