KTMB offers 30% discount for new ETS service to Johor Bahru

KTMB launches a 30% discount to celebrate its new ETS service to JB Sentral, valid for travel between KL and Johor Bahru from December 12 to January 11.

KUALA LUMPUR: Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) is celebrating the launch of its electric train service (ETS) to JB Sentral with a special 30% discount.

The offer applies to the KL Sentral-JB Sentral-KL Sentral sector for travel from December 12 to January 11, 2026.

Passengers can use the promo code ‘JBBEST’ when purchasing tickets to claim the discount.

KTMB chief technical officer Ir. Ahmad Nizam Mohamed Amin said 5,000 promo codes are available, subject to terms and conditions.

He said the new service will enhance domestic mobility and stimulate tourism and business activities in both directions.

“This implementation is timely ahead of the school holiday season and the year-end period,” he said in a statement.

Ahmad Nizam added that the service supports Johor’s tourism industry and economy by attracting more tourists, including those from Singapore.

Tickets can be purchased via the KITS Style application, KTMB’s official website, or at KTMB kiosk machines.

The ETS operation marks the completion of the Gemas–Johor Bahru Electric Double Tracking Project. This project involved constructing a 192-kilometre line and 11 stations.

ETS services will be activated in phases, covering routes to the northern sector in line with the commissioning process.
