KTM / Keretapi Tanah Melayu New time shedule of ktmb

As per today 17 January 2022 the earliest train from serdang Station to kl Central is 6.26am. The next available train is 7.26am. This new schedule is not helping us the daily people commute for our work. They should hv followed the previous schedule. Atleast there were more trains to travel in morning.

Desired outcome: Add more schedule early morning and just follow previous schedule which we already familiarise. Try to improvise without cancelling the additional route train. Tq

KTM / Keretapi Tanah Melayu Customer service

I went to Ktm Rawang on 19/12/2021 around 3.40pm and there was 1 girl at the counter who was quite rude and not friendly at all. I asked if I could buy ets tickets to the Gurun or Sungai Petani, and she said "habis" with an arrogant face. So I asked, if still have ticket to Kedah other than Gurun or Sungai Petani and she said there were only ets tickets to Alor Setar. Then I call my parents first to confirm either they okay to pick me up at Alor Setar or not. After 5min, I came again to buy a ticket to Alor Setar, but then she said "kan saya dah cakap, habis". Fuhh very rude. I don't know when she said the tickets to Alor Setar were sold out, because at first she only said the tickets to Gurun and Sungai Petani were sold out. But that's not the point. The point is, if the ticket is available or not, you need to have manners. You as a customer service need to have good manners to assist customers well. I come and ask nicely, but you treat me like [censored]. How can it be. Please take action and teach her how to be a customer service with good manners. Tq

KTM / Keretapi Tanah Melayu Service

I want to buy a card at the counter at KTM Putra. At first I have RM 7 only, luckily I found another RM1 to pay my card. Why does the payment still need to be payed by cash? KTM such a big company. You need a cashless payment method! Like debit card/ touch n go e-wallet/ Maybank qr pay/ boost! I can't also top up my touchngo card at the counter! Such a lame! Nowadays, the nasi lemak by the road can also be payed cashless! Please upgrade your service! Even now, bank will charge RM 1 for the interbank (meps) cash out. Urghh!

Desired outcome: Please use cashless payment! KTM Berhad is such a big company!

Hi Team Members,

Need to address some concern for the signal clearance in Bangi Station, can this be look into as my brother takes the 7.06am train from Seremban, and supposed to be arriving in Bandar Tasik Selatan by 8.06am followed by a transit to Bandar Puteri Puchong station which only takes 27 minutes due to delay in Bangi Station it makes him reach so late in BTS, and impact his work performance. Can the higher management assist on this matter. On additional note this has cause delay in his work and unnecessary hassle stress from the higher ups of his organizations.

Hope this can be solved and he can take the 7.06am train instead of the 6.36am train from Seremban.

Desired outcome: We hope to there could be some areas of improvement can be done and not cause delay on the customer's end

KTM / Keretapi Tanah Melayu Dicaj lebih daripada tambang asal

Salam,

Saya Jacintha, ingin membuat aduan kerana saya telah dicaj lebih daripada jumlah asal semasa saya menaiki KTM Komuter bertarikh 7/7/2021.
Saya telah menaiki KTM dari Stesen Kajang ke Tampin dan ketika ingin akses keluar menggunakan kad TNG saya, mesin tersebut menyatakan baki dalam kad saya tidak mencukupi, di mana jumlah dalam kad tersebut lebih daripada mencukupi untuk perjalanan saya pada ketika itu. Oleh yang demikian, saya terpaksa keluar dari stesen tersebut untuk mengisi jumlah dalam kad saya (stesen tersebut tidak mempunyai kaunter untuk menambah baki dan saya telah dibenarkan untuk keluar untuk mengisi jumlah kad saya)
Sila lihat lampiran yang telah saya sertakan dalam email ini untuk rujukan anda. Saya amat berharap pihak tuan/puan akan mengambil tindakan sewajarnya keatas aduan saya ini.

Terima kasih.
Jacintha

KTM / Keretapi Tanah Melayu Ktm Station in kampar

My son studying in Utar. He want to book a ticket, he called to the station today at 4 o clock. He called for 1 hour, then only a lady picked up. After she picked up, she is telling, line is not clear, can you call up again. When my son told, I was trying for 1 hour, she continue to hold the line, after 5 minutes are so, she suddenly put down the phone.

Then he came to station to buy a ticket at 5, the person incharge in the counter saying your student card is not in online. My son applied for a online student card and got it, how it cannot be online. He just repeats the same answer. It's not available. Then what is the solution for the problem.

Each staff is very irresponsible and unproductive. They are not customer friendly. They just work for name sake, no involvement and nothing.

Govt should focus on improvement of govt staff

Desired outcome: Customer friendly and responsible staffs should be appointed as govt staffs.

Change of the schedule during mco not effective. V r working on weekends too. So train that come around 9 not suitable 4 those who are working on weekends as early as 8 like me. since u guys comes between 1 hours during pick hours on weekends. So atlest b in platform atlest for 10 min before move to next station. Since u cut down schedule time 1 hour in between to next train arrival its some how made the the coach full n packed with public. Its not suitable to us the public travel in packed coaches during mco as u all aware number of covid -19 cases r increasing rapidly by day.

Desired outcome: Rather than stop the morning train u may start early train as usual but cut down the schedule in non pick hours which r in middle which u hv done before.

KTM / Keretapi Tanah Melayu Jadual perhidmatan komuter

Kenapa sewaktu pkp ni jadual perhidmatan komuter ke perlabuhan klang teruk. Komuter sepatutnya tiba pukul 850 tapi tiba pukul 920. Tolong ambil serius mengenai perkara ni. Tolong hormat masa para penumpang yang menunggu untuk menaiki tren pada pukul 850.
Ini sedikit sebanyak menganggu perancangan perjalanan penumpang seperti saya di mana saya mungkin terlepas perhidmatan bas yang menunggu di station hentian saya. Tolong ambil serius mengenai perkara ini.

KTM / Keretapi Tanah Melayu New ticketing system for senior citizens

03/10/20 - a senior citizen went to ktm station located in alor setar kedah to buy tickets. She asked for senior citizen's 50% discount of the ticket pricing. However, the ktm staff behind the counter told her that there is a new system in place where senior citizens need to register online in order to get their 50% discount. The poor old lady didn't understand what they were saying and asked if they could help her thinking they, the younger generation would better understand the "online system". All they did was print out a receipt with qr code and some step by step guide to register online. The senior citizen didn't even have a proper phone. This "new ticketing system" that requires online registration, loging into email and uploading of ic photos may be practical for the tech savvy people but not the older generations. This system doesn't make any sense asking a senior citizen to go through all the hassle just to get their 50% discount. What if they are staying alone where do the management expect them to get help! The management really needs to reconsider this "new ticketing system" especially in regards to the services related to senior citizen's..

I am 72. Barely able to operate my handphone with ease. Digitally minimally literate. The KTMB website is not only unclear but uses language I don't understand. How on earth does KTMB believe they are helping senior citizens to obtain a 50% discount. I sincerely believe that KTMB is insincere about giving discounts to senior citizens and are hoping really really hard that seniors don't get their discounts.

Unless there an over the counter service to help, KTMB's so-called senior citizen pricing is a complete scam.

Yup, very very bad! Just attracting people to buy tickets but either not sincere where this is just a gimmick or so incompetent in judgement on the process.

You have to first be the senior citizen not the family member etc. and register an online account, then upload IC to verify you are Malaysian, then separately find a section in the site to apply for senior citizen concession ticket rights which needs approval - based on what I see on FB, it takes three days to get approval. Hello?! Who buys ticket nowadays using like 3-4 days process? And not intuitive, means only found about through relatives who went to the station to buy theirs, to know you have to register the senior an online account, and children cannot use their account to buy for themselves and the señior... And had to go through the whole check out process to realise that we need to go back to profile to find the section to apply for concession ticket status, wait 3 days for approval then come back to buy it. OMG.

Person who thought of this process, obviously missing a few screws, and the persons who approved it are either making fun of people of left their faculties at home

Very true; people who are responsible for and approve this system typically never think carefully.

Retirees and students need to apply for a concession ticket, but like my parent ticket, which is usually handled by me, there is no easy way to link them to my KTMB app account, so they will need to register and process all these themselves. What's the logic?

This is the most stupidest thing ever. They really expect senior citizens to deal with this fuss? I'm not even a senior citizen and I'm full of rage from KTMB's stupid website. It is so inconvenient and the fact that they are making such an inconvenience for senior citizen's only tells me that KTMB isn't genuine with their intentions to give discounts for senior citizens. What they really intend is for senior citizens or their family members to get fed up and buy tickets at full price.

I mean, once you key in the IC number, it should be able to detect how old you are by the year. Don't be such [censored] KTMB.

Before the computer and smartphone era, one just had to show identity card to prove his entitlement for rebate to ticketing officer and got instant approval .

Don’t have to create difficulties just for the sake of sophistication!

Is not sophistication is called using technology to be lazy and instead of helping the needed, they help themselves collect free gaji for not doing anything at work. Try another way asking them to submit how many senior citizens they helped with good review before they get their gaji and see what happen?
