KTM Komuter is an electrified commuter train service first introduced in 1995, catering especially to commuters in Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding suburban areas. It is a popular mode of transportation for commuters working in Kuala Lumpur, as they can travel to the city without the hassle of traffic congestion.[citation needed] Coaches are modern and air-conditioned. For those who drive to the stations/halts, 'Park & Ride' facility is provided at a nominal charge.[citation needed]

The system is one of the components of the

Seremban station

History

The line began as part of the Selangor Government Railway which opened in 1886. The modern-day Seremban Line began as a spur line, opened in 1895, from the

Kajang in 1897.[2]

The line was later re-routed through

LRT Ampang Line. The Rawang–Seremban stretch and the Sentul–Port Klang stretch were electrified
in the early 1990s.

Another branch line from Seremban-Port Dickson opened in 1891. The line is also known as a "Zig Zag Line" until in the 1970s. when the few stations has closed. In 2008, the line closed with the branch line undergoing dismantling in 2022.[citation needed]

Former Seremban-Gemas Shuttle Service

On 1 October 2015, KTMB announced the introduction of the Seremban–Gemas shuttle service for Seremban–Gemas stretch. It was operated by KTM Class 83 trains running the electrified double tracks at speeds up to 140 km/h (87 mph). Spanning over 100 km (62 mi), it served at Seremban, Senawang, Sungai Gadut, Rembau, Pulau Sebang/Tampin, Batang Melaka and ends at Gemas.[6]

The service offered 59 services daily - 55 services between Seremban and Pulau Sebang and 4 services from Seremban to Gemas. Trains start at 5 am and ends at 11 pm, with a 30-minute frequency. Travel time from Seremban to Pulau Sebang was about 38 minutes while a trip from Seremban to Gemas took approximately 65 minutes.

The service had been operationally effective 10 October 2015 until 11 July 2016, when Seremban Line services to Pulau Sebang/Tampin replaced this shuttle. The shuttle was cut short to Pulau Sebang/Tampin on 20 June 2016; Batang Melaka and Gemas are no longer served by KTM Komuter.

KTM Komuter Trial Route

A new route for KTM Komuter services was introduced for the preparation of the infrastructure upgrading works in the Klang Valley Double Tracking project which began in April 2016. It aimed to increase the frequency and the smooth running of the KTM ETS, KTM Komuter, KTM Intercity & Freight at the Central Sector.[7] The initial route for from Rawang-Seremban was changed to Batu Caves-Seremban effective 15 December 2015. The line was effectively named the Batu Caves–Pulau Sebang Line.

Additional Service for Early Birds (Bandar Tasik Selatan–KL Sentral-Tanjung Malim)

On 4 August 2016, an additional morning train (Mondays to Fridays except on public holidays) was introduced between

Port Klang Line train to Tanjung Malim, stopping at every station before terminating at Tanjung Malim at 7:44 am.[8]

Service suspension between Putra and the old Kuala Lumpur station

From 22 December 2017, services on the line's three city-centre stations - the

KL Sentral, Batu Caves and Sentul.[9]

Free shuttle buses, provided by

Kajang and Muzium Negara.[10][11]

Services have since resumed to their original arrangements.[citation needed]

Rolling stock

The line uses KTM Class 92 trains in 6 car formations.
