KUALA LUMPUR, April 14 — The government today introduced a rail-focused relief package offering discounted fares and new monthly pass options in an effort to cushion Malaysians from rising commuting costs linked to fuel prices.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook said the initiative is aimed at encouraging greater use of public transport, particularly rail, while improving affordability for daily commuters.
Under the scheme, Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) will provide a 30 per cent discount on Electric Train Service (ETS) tickets across all routes, as well as reduced fares for the Ekspres Rakyat Timuran (ERT) service on the JB Sentral–Tumpat line.
