KUALA LUMPUR, April 30 — The 30 per cent discount offered under the MADANI30 promotional code for Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB) Electric Train Service (ETS) and Ekspres Rakyat Timuran (ERT) services has been extended until May 14.
The Transport Ministry (MOT) in a statement today said the extension was made following encouraging public response, reflecting the public’s readiness to shift towards more affordable and convenient rail transport.
“For the travel period from May to October 2026, a total of 1.2 million seats are being offered under the Madani30 initiative, providing ample opportunity for the public to plan their journeys early at more reasonable fares.
“In this regard, MOT urges the public to take advantage of this opportunity by planning their trips in advance and using KTMB services to their preferred destinations,” it said.
According to MOT, the initiative remains available for the purchase of adult tickets across all ETS sectors as well as ERT services on the JB Sentral-Tumpat-JB Sentral route, for travel up to October 14 this year.
The discount is valid for travel from Mondays to Thursdays, except for school holidays and public holidays.
MOT said the initiative is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the road-to-rail agenda, which is more sustainable, efficient and environmentally friendly.
“The use of rail transport is not only more comfortable and safe, but also contributes to environmental sustainability and reduces traffic congestion.
“This approach is in line with the Madani Government’s aspiration to reduce road congestion, lower the carbon footprint, and improve the people’s quality of life through a more integrated public transport system,” the ministry said.
MOT also stressed the government’s commitment to keep strengthening the national rail transport ecosystem as the backbone of Malaysia’s future mobility.
