KTMB Offers Free Bus Service From Subang Jaya & Port Klang KTM Stations
Due to ongoing track work under the Klang Valley Electrified Double Track Phase 2 project, train frequency between Port Klang and KL Sentral has been reduced to every 60 minutes.
Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) will provide free intermediary buses at selected stations along the KL Sentral-Port Klang Line
This initiative aims to ease the impact of the ongoing Klang Valley Electrified Double Track (KVDT2) project, which has reduced train frequency on the Port Klang–KL Sentral route.
Starting Friday, 17 January, 22 buses will provide free transportation between key stations, including Subang Jaya, Batu Tiga, Shah Alam, Padang Jawa, Bukit Badak, Klang, Teluk Gadong, and Pelabuhan Klang. The intermediary buses will operate daily from 7am to 11pm, with a frequency of every 30 minutes.
The free bus service will operate along five distinct routes, as seen below:

The bus service to Padang Jawa Station (Route 1) will conclude at 12pm every Friday due to night market operations.
The KTM Komuter schedule for the Port Klang–KL Sentral Line will change starting 20 January

The New Straits Times reported that van services will be offered to passengers travelling to and from Bukit Badak and Teluk Gadong stations due to lower ridership.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke, who announced these improvements on Friday, 10 January, encouraged commuters travelling between KTM Abdullah Hukum station and Subang Jaya to continue using existing bus services and the Kelana Jaya LRT line.
The updated KTM Komuter timetable can be found on the KTMB website.
