Get ready for a revolutionary travel experience! The new extension of the Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTM) Electric Train Service (ETS) is set to redefine how you travel between Kuala Lumpur (KL) and Johor Bahru (JB)—and even Singapore.
The long-awaited completion of the ETS line to JB Sentral, projected for the end of 2025, is bringing the capital closer than ever before, slashing travel time by almost half!

Your Effortless Journey Starts at KL Sentral
For our guests, the arrival of the new ETS is fantastic news. If you’re traveling for business or a city getaway, the train delivers you directly to KL Sentral, the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s transport system.
From KL Sentral, you are just minutes away from Citrus Hotel Johor Bahru. Whether you take a short taxi ride, hop on the LRT/MRT, or enjoy a quick walk (if the hotel is adjacent to KL Sentral, e.g., “we are directly connected via a sheltered walkway!”), you can check in and begin exploring immediately.
💡 Imagine: Stepping off a comfortable 4-hour train journey, avoiding highway stress, and being instantly immersed in the vibrant energy of Kuala Lumpur.
