PUTRAJAYA: Malaysians can look forward to 24-hour Electric Train Service (ETS) train services during peak festive periods, starting this Chinese New Year, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke. “During festive periods, Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) usually kept spare sets as a precaution in case of breakdowns, so not all sets were deployed. “However, I have instructed KTMB that we must optimise our existing sets. He added that during festive and other public holidays, services will be increased when demand is high. “Ultimately, what we want is to increase capacity and frequency, optimise our assets, and allow more people to benefit by securing ETS tickets.”Meanwhile, the government was also providing subsidies for one-way domestic flight tickets on routes between Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan.
