Keretapi means Train. KTM (Keretapi Tanah Melayu) stands for Malayan Railways.
Yes i hated it, many also hate it but we really need it. Without it, people cannot go places easily. It’s the easiest way for most people without their own modes of transportation to travel from city to city like Kuala Lumpur to Cheras to Nilai where i’m at and to seremban. There are trains till almost midnight everyday and all the stations are safe.
During regular hours, you probrably can’t get a seat in a KTM. There are loads of people from the last station. When it is even busier periods, chances of getting onto the train are also slim. In this case, you will have to wait for the next train. There is also a problem with the schedule of the train. For people like me who are se to have my own transport(car)(i don’t have one in Nilai) waiting for KTM is torturing. I once waited one whole hour without my train arriving and when it did arrived, it was so packed, like sardines in a can. I barely squeeze in and started my 1 hour journey in a not so comfortable position.
Public transport is very much not efficient, and improvements should be made as soon as possible. However i’m very grateful that this although not so perfect transport is available to me as many in less developed country cannot enjoy this luxury.
