KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians using KTM Bhd’s Tebrau Shuttle train service will enjoy a one-way fare of RM5 from JB Sentral to Woodlands, Singapore, and vice versa, starting Aug 1.
KTMB said tickets will be available from Feb 29 onwards.
Currently, the price for a one-way ticket from JB Sentral to Woodlands is RM5, while the fare for the return leg is S$5 (RM17.50).
“The readjustment of this fare will benefit about 40,000 Malaysians who rely on the railway service for commuting between JB Sentral and Woodlands as they will no longer need to pay the S$5 fare from Woodlands,” it said in a statement yesterday, Bernama reported.
To enjoy this lower fare, it said Malaysians need to register an account on KTMB’s KITS mobile app and verify their identity card at the ticket kiosk or ticket counters throughout the KTMB network.
KTMB will also open additional counters at JB Sentral to ensure smooth verification of identity cards, from Feb 19 to March 1.
