JOHOR BARU: It was a lucky coincidence for a teenager here who got to board Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd’s (KTMB) Southern Express train for the first time just one day before the service ends its run. “My friend and I decided to ride the train to Gemas to visit our friends there. In a statement on Monday, KTMB announced that its Southern Express train service on the Gemas-JB Sentral-Gemas route, which had been operating for nine years, will be terminated effective Jan 1. Muhammad Arif said he was unaware about the ceasing of the Southern Express train service. Shalini said that she plans to take the Electric Train Service (ETS) for her future trips.
