Kuala Lumpur, 13th April 2011: Starting Friday, 15th April 2011, the KLIA Transit service will run an hour earlier, with the first train departing from KL Sentral Station at 4.33am.
KLIA Transit is a commuter service operated by Express Rail Link (ERL) with three quick stops between KL Sentral and KLIA. The “KLIA Transit to LCCT” service was launched in September 2009 to provide a safe, reliable and fast journey for passengers going to the LCCT. Passengers heading to the LCCT can board the KLIA Transit fast train from KL Sentral to Salak Tinggi where they will be ferried directly to LCCT on a dedicated air-conditioned shuttle coach. For added convenience, porters (free service) will be on hand to assist with luggage at Salak Tinggi Station. The train departs every 30 minutes and the complete journey between KL Sentral and LCCT takes only 52 minutes. This service is also available between LCCT and other KLIA Transit stations (Bandar Tasik Selatan and Putrajaya/Cyberjaya).
In announcing the new schedule today, Puan Noormah Mohd Noor, Chief Executive Officer of ERL, said: “It is timely for us to start the KLIA Transit service earlier to cater to the huge LCCT market. There are many scheduled domestic and regional flights departing from the LCCT early in the morning now. We listened to our customers, and we are very pleased to be able to offer this improved train schedule, for them to connect smoothly with their flights.”
While the new earlier times of 4.33am and 5.03am will be operated from KL Sentral this Friday, there are however, no changes to the departure times from KLIA to KL Sentral. The first departure from KLIA remains at 5.52am.
The updated timetable is now available at the stations and on www.KLIAekspres.com.
