KTM Intercity (Malay: KTM Antarabandar) are diesel-hauled intercity train services in Peninsular Malaysia, operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB). Services operate along the East Coast Line between Tumpat and Gemas and on towards JB Sentral on the West Coast Line. The former Intercity services along the West Coast Line between Padang Besar in the north (and subsequent services to Thailand) and Gemas have been converted to the KTM ETS service.[1]

KTM Intercity has long enjoyed moderate success, but increasingly faces competition with road and air travel, as expressways (motorways) increase in number and budget airlines offer shorter travelling time. In 2006, KTM Intercity earned a profit of RM 70.94 million as group revenue, hovering around the RM 65 million mark since 2001.

KTM has announced that ticket sales for the ETS and KTM Intercity train services for 2022 will open on January 5. [2]

Local and express services

There are two types of KTM Intercity train services: Express and Shuttle. Long-distance passenger trains along the East Coast route (Tumpat - Gemas - Johor Bahru Sentral) are express trains calling only at major stations. The East Coast Line also still has mostly shuttle trains calling at all stations and halts.
