Look, it’s a train, no, it’s a bus….aiya, no lah, it’s a Railbus, haha
In 1987, KTM started operating a fleet of 10 Hungarian-made “railbuses”. Among the routes were :-
- Kulai/Singapura/Kulai
- Ipoh/Kuala Lumpur/Ipoh
- Ipoh/Butterworth/Ipoh
- Gemas/Mentakab/Gemas
- Port Klang/KL/Sentul
- Butterworth/Arau/Butterworth
I remember travelling once in the early 1990s from SGP to Kulai for a work assignment (my company had a factory in Bandar Tenggara).
There were many complaints though….no aircon, trains were wobbly,etc. After a few years these were withdrawn from service.
Has anyone else travelled on one of these railbuses ?
