The Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) Komuter service will operate from 6am on Dec 31 to 6am the following day for the convenience of the public celebrating New Year in the city.

Its general manager, Mohd Hider Yusoff, said KTMB would provide 48 additional trains for the purpose to ensure smooth service for the route between Sungai Gadut and Rawang, as well as Batu Caves and Port Klang.
