KTM Train
-
Hi,
Wondering how long does it take to travel to KL via KTM as compared to via a coach. Also any idea of the facilities onboard the KTM train and their rates? Thanks alot, as am thinking of making a trip to KL at the end of the month with my friends
Thanks! -
Trust me. Its better off in a bus coach rather than a train.
Coach : 3 to 4 hours.
Train : 5 to 6 hours.
Reason is, the train stops at certain stations.

Partly cos the track is single track...Originally posted by mhcampboy:Trust me. Its better off in a bus coach rather than a train.

So when it reaches some station, the trains have to give way -
Really? What coach company you use??Originally posted by SpecOps87:I took via coach before...they told us it takes 4hrs too, but end up we reach there in like 6hrs+ man...by then my ass was sore already
Certain coaches policy must have mandatory stops along the highway at restpoints. But seriously, most coaches will try to arrive KL in 4 hrs. -

I know only Yong Peng can link to Fed Rt 1
That stretch can be very dangerous at night -
