Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTMB) has partnered Grab Malaysia to provide safe, convenient and affordable first and last mile connectivity for passengers on the country’s main rail network.

Under the agreement, KTMB’s passengers will enjoy exclusive discounted rides during festive seasons such as Chinese New Year (CNY), Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Deepavali and Christmas.

Despite the official relationship was only formalised yesterday, Grab has been supporting KTMB with discounted rides since 2017 for passengers travelling for the Hari Raya, Thaipusam and CNY holidays.

Grab is allocating designated pick-up and drop-off zones at all major KTMB stations. These zones with appropriate signages are already available at eight Klang Valley major KTMB stations in Salak Selatan, Bank Negara Malaysia, Serdang, Batu Caves, Kajang, Kuala Lumpur, Nilai and Sungai Buloh.

“We are pleased to launch this new collaboration with Grab that utilises ride-hailing features as part of the overall KTMB service offering,” said KTMB CEO Mohd Rani Hisham Samsudin. — TMR
