The 25 per cent discount is applicable for other ETS routes, but only for journeys on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

To enjoy the promotion, you must purchase your tickets strictly at any KTMB counters nationwide.

According to KTMB's CEO, Mohd Rani Hisham Samsudin, the promotion is carried out as token of appreciation to all of its loyal customers and to also encourage other people to try and ride the ETS.

"We will extend the promotion to a certain date if there is a lot of positive response or demand from the passengers," Mohd Rani told Bernama.
