Alright, we know the drill, you want the bad news first right?
KTM Berhad is embarking on a serious project to enhance its efficiency. So due to the construction and upgrading works, you might be experiencing one of these four situations in the next four years:
-Increased train intervals at the Seremban-Batu Caves route from 15 minutes to 45 minutes during weekends and public holidays, and off-peak hours on weekdays.
-The Sungai Buloh-Pelabuhan Klang route will see 45-minute intervals for both ways during off peak hours on weekdays.
-The Tanjung Malim-Pelabuhan Klang route will see 30 minute intervals during the morning peak hours of 5.30am to 9pm, while the reverse direction will see an interval of 30 or 60 minutes, with off-peak hours for both ways will have a 60-minute interval.
-The Tanjung Malim-KL Sentral route will have one-hour intervals for both ways during weekends and public holidays, while the KL Sentral-Pelabuhan Klang route will have 45-minute intervals for both ways.
Right, now for the good news; by 2019, your waiting time for the KTM train will reduce to a mere 7.5 minutes. This is being done in efforts to achieve the ‘Metro’ standard, like the LRT or the upcoming MRT.
So, no pain, no gain we guess? Or would you rather endure the current 15-minute waiting time? Let us know.
