For those who have been waiting for the perfect reason to plan their next train adventure or explore Malaysia in a more affordable way, KTM Berhad is bringing something exciting to the table. From 18 to 20 April 2025, at MITEC Kuala Lumpur, train enthusiasts, travel lovers, and bargain hunters alike will find plenty to smile about. In conjunction with the ever-popular MATTA Fair 2025, KTM Berhad is rolling out some truly worthwhile travel promotions — and yes, this is one of those events not to be missed if you’re always on the lookout for better travel deals.
What makes this even more exciting is the 25% discount on tickets for ETS and Eastern People’s Express (ERT) services, offered to the first 300 buyers each day during the fair. That’s not all — they’re also offering 10% off selected merchandise at their Rail Boutique. And the best part? All this happens in person at KTM Berhad’s booth, making it a great opportunity to meet the team, ask questions, and grab some limited-time deals on the spot.
Why should they go and enjoy this deal?
Let’s face it — travel costs can add up, especially with long-distance travel across Malaysia. Whether it’s a weekend getaway, a visit to relatives in another state, or a scenic journey for leisure, a discount on train fares always helps stretch the budget further. With KTM Berhad offering a 25% fare reduction, that could mean savings of tens of ringgit per person, depending on the destination.
For regular travellers and those who rely on train services to commute or visit different states, this deal offers a practical reason to purchase tickets in advance. ETS, for example, is one of the fastest and most comfortable intercity trains in Malaysia. Known for its speed, cleanliness, and punctuality, it’s a preferred choice for travellers heading to places like Ipoh, Penang, or Padang Besar from Kuala Lumpur.
The Eastern People’s Express (ERT), meanwhile, caters to routes heading east — a more leisurely service that offers a nostalgic feel for long-distance travel. If there’s ever been a plan to explore Malaysia’s East Coast or experience a slower-paced journey with scenic views, this is the ideal opportunity to grab a deal.
Ideal for long weekends or mid-year getaways
April is also the perfect time to plan ahead for holidays, as the middle of the year approaches and public holidays cluster around certain weekends. By securing discounted ETS or ERT tickets at MATTA Fair, travellers can lock in their trips early, avoiding the last-minute rush and high demand.
Many travellers complain about fare hikes or limited seats closer to travel dates, especially during festive seasons and school holidays. Booking at MATTA Fair not only secures a better rate but also peace of mind. Since the ticket sales are happening directly at the KTM Berhad booth, buyers can consult the staff for advice on routes, schedules, or even tips for smooth travel planning.
Not just train rides – discounts on Rail Boutique merchandise too
What makes this deal even more fun is the 10% discount on Rail Boutique items. If you’re a fan of train-themed memorabilia, or just want a gift for someone who loves trains, this is the place to browse. Rail Boutique often offers limited-edition collectables, accessories, and merchandise that reflect Malaysia’s railway heritage. It’s a great opportunity to pick up something unique — whether it’s a travel mug, tote bag, station-themed souvenir, or something for the kids.
For railway enthusiasts and families with young children who adore trains, this adds a playful bonus to the experience. Getting a discounted item from Rail Boutique is like taking a piece of the journey home — even before the train ride begins.
Why visit MATTA Fair 2025?
If you’ve never been to a MATTA Fair before, it’s worth checking out. Held at MITEC Kuala Lumpur, this large-scale travel expo features travel agencies, airlines, hotels, tourism boards, and transportation providers — all in one place. It’s the ultimate one-stop shop for travel planning. Visitors can browse countless booths, compare packages, enjoy giveaways, and access discounts that are usually only available during the fair period.
This year, with KTM Berhad participating, it’s even more attractive for those keen on domestic travel. The booth is located on Level 1 (Domestic Zone), so make sure to head straight there to be among the first 300 buyers daily and secure that 25% train fare discount.
Also, attending MATTA Fair allows visitors to talk directly with KTM Berhad staff, which is helpful for those who prefer personal assistance or have complex travel itineraries. It’s also a great way to ask about future train services, upgrades, or promotions, and stay connected with the latest in Malaysian rail travel.
A promotion with limited availability – so plan ahead
Keep in mind that only the first 300 buyers each day will receive the 25% discount, so it pays to arrive early. This is a limited-time offer, and with so many train fans and savvy travellers expected at the fair, the daily allocation might go quickly.
If you’re planning to attend MATTA Fair for other travel packages, do make it a point to stop by KTM Berhad’s booth early on. Bring your travel itinerary or destination list, and you could walk away with confirmed tickets and savings all in one go.
Whether the plan is a quick escape to Ipoh, a visit to Penang’s heritage trails, or a longer east coast journey on the ERT, this deal helps make travel more accessible and budget-friendly. Add to that the fun of the MATTA Fair experience, and it turns into a day well spent — with discounts, discoveries, and maybe even a few souvenirs in tow.
