KTM Komuter from Tanjung Malim to KL Sentral
KTM Komuter Central Sector 2309dn is a somewhat-popular morning train from Tanjung Malim as it arrives in KL Sentral just before 9am, allowing passengers to get to the office just in time. Passengers slowly fill up the train at every station along the way, though not as much as I had expected, possibly due to passengers with cars finding other alternatives to get to KL now that the Tanjung Malim–KL Sentral sector is served by very few trains.
