All trains are available to book online apart from the KTM Komuter, which must be bought at the station on the day of travel. You cannot reserve a seat on the Komuter trains but they can’t sell out, so you’ll always be able to at least get onboard, even if all the seats are taken.

Tickets can also be bought at stations for the ETS or Intercity services. Unless you have a good reason to, there’s no need to buy at the station, online is easier.

How far ahead you can book depends on the train and how much of the route you ride. KTMB releases tickets in monthly batches, usually about 6 months ahead, but release dates vary. Travel up to 31 Dec 2026 is on sale now. For full details on booking windows, see the when to book Malaysia train tickets guide.
