This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

It's all the bad remarks that you can give to an organization; no efficiency, no protocols, no professionalism and of course with an outstanding remark of an awful public transportation service. At least 6 times a day, the train is late, at least 10 times a week you're stranded in the middle of your journey... It's always "we're sorry for the inconvenience" tone with ktmb. All their sorry's are being washed down the sewer. Something has to be done or it's going to cause ktmb great and it's a total humiliation to our tourism industry.

Wake up ktmb, wake up!

I do feel disappointed because the train had stop about 3 hours. Such waste of time and you need to improve the service quality. We as citizens absolutely will use the KTM service but in way dont make us feel the burden of waiting for such that long. Im sorry

Only in Malaysia, the stupidest train system exist here. Unreliable timing, route changes without notifications, and unreliable workers. It will make you late for 1 hour anywhere. [censored] you KTM Berhad

We have reached KTM station at 8:23PM .
Schedule write on time timetable 8:25PM, train from Butterworth to Sungai Petani .
What does it mean on time timetable?!
We ran from ferry to KTM .🙄 And the workers close the gate at 8:23 PM .
Wasting my time!

On 8 Mei 2019, the tren was delay and taking so long from kl sntral to seremban.Ktmb should do something to fixed this problem. Hence, your should not charge the passenger if the mistake happen from your side like RapidKl do when they facing a problem.Please be matured in services since to many people using your services.

I came to Ipoh to purchase ETS ticket and the staff Azmah is so rude and unprofessional in dealing with customer. She also take a long time in solving my problem and I had to asked someone else to solve it. I hope your staff can improve their attitude.

I reach BTS at 9.48pm and the board mention the train to Seremban will reach at 10.22pm and I keep wait until 10.22pm the train also haven't reach. Until I wait 11.30pm only the train reach. I waited one hour plus for the train. This is too horrible. How to improve your service. Place to sit also don't have. Bad service that I have seen.

I already paid the RM33 for the KTMB-I card, but it says on my application status on KTMB website that no payment has been made . Please fix as soon as possible as I use the ets regularly, so I am at a lost if I keep using it without the card . I have provided the screenshot of my account transaction statement and it clearly states I have paid

Bought the ticket online thru KTM website and payment is successful, however did not receive the booking.I guess is due to server error! I've lost count on how many times I tried to call the centre and NOBODY is picking up the phone call !

At KTM Alor Setar station.
It seems no urgency and issue being taken seriously by KTM to repair the elevator at platform 2. Seeing elderly walking down very tirelessly and those on wheelchair asking helps to carry them down. It's really unsafe and unwanted accident could happen.

I have to wait for 1 hour and half for the train to move. They didn't even try to apologize or explain why we as the customer to pay them should wait for 1 and half hour for the train to move. Not everyone have time to waste like this. What a lousy customer service. Their official website didn't even has a customer feedback mechanism.

Will like to complaint at Padang jawa station why the toilet for male and female always closed for at least more than 2 months. Especially at morning, . This is very inconvenient for the customer when wanted to use. Kindly help to improve the services to care the customers needed. Hope this issue can be identified and fixes.

The lady duty at klang KTM station on 5th Nov morning was very rude and impatient. Every time when I buy tickets from her like she is my boss or owing her money. Please provide customer service training for her to improve service quality at klang station. Tq.

Waited for train to Sg Gadut from KL Central at 11:20 a.m. today Sunday 11 November 2018. We board the train at 11:18 it goes in the opposite direction to Kuala Lumpur, the train diriver throws about 80 passengers off the train and then changes direction and goes back KL Central. My friend was late for teh train and eactly the same train arrives at KL Central. Professionalism to KTMB mean stranding passengers at the wrong train station to wiat one and a half hours in the heat with no fans at Kuala Limpur station. These are former Prime Ministre Najib supporters so that says it all. It cost me RM16 in taxi fare to make my apointment.
