Keretapi Tanah Melayu


 

Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) or the Malayan Railway is the main railway system in Peninsular Malaysia. It was formerly run by the Malayan Railway Administration, but since corporatisation in 1991 has been run by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTM Bhd or KTMB), which is wholly owned by the Federal Government. The railway system dates back to the British colonial era, when it was first built to transport tin. Fares are generally reasonable, but the slow speed of trains on the narrow-gauge tracks does not usually make them competitive with aeroplane or even coach travel.
