Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad, or KTMB as the national railway authority is known, has a mixed perception in the eyes of the Malaysian public. While the railway has a storied and rich past, having played a vital role in the country’s development, it also tends to be the target of the public’s ire, especially the population of the Klang Valley. The irony is, of course, that most of its customers are from the Klang Valley.
It is hoped that travelling with Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) coaches will be as comfortable as travelling in an ETS train in the near future.
It is good news then that a recent article in the Star states that there are plans by the company to upgrade its train stations with more facilities to provide conveniences for its passengers. In addition, there will also be features to help improve commuters’ security and safety in its stations. Among the goodies that comuters can expect are WiFi, fans, LCD screens and even mobile phone chargers at commuters’ disposal as they wait for the trains to arrive. Stations will also be installed with CCTV cameras as a security measure. These measures will probably be well received by the public, but nonetheless, it will be unsurprising if there are sarcastic comments suggesting that KTMB’s efforts signal that commuters are definitely in for more delays in the future.

Plans are in the pipeline for Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB) to upgrade its train stations with more facilities to enhance convenience for passengers.
KTMB will also be implementing features to improve commuters’ security in its stations.
KTMB corporate communications senior manager Mohd Fazil Ismail said KTMB would introduce features such as WiFi, fans, LCD screens and mobile phone chargers that would keep commuters occupied during train arrival intervals.
In matters of security, Fazil said CCTV cameras would be installed at stations across the country to improve passenger safety.
He said the cameras installations were in addition to the 24-hour KTMB auxiliary police that were already deployed.
Fazil also said nine stations that were considered prone to crime were already equipped with CCTV cameras.
The upgrades made in KTMB train stations are in line with the GTP’s Urban Public Transport NKRA, which aims to increase ridership of public transport.
