KERETAPI Tanah Melayu (KTMB) has banned bicycles from all Electric Train Service (ETS) and Intercity trains, according to a posting on its social media page.
The announcement further stated the trains are for passengers and luggage only but no reason was given for the bicycle ban.
The matter was brought to light after blogger amoithekampunggirl detailed her cycling group’s eviction from a KTM Intercity train on March 29 in Gemas.
She wrote the group was aware of the restriction on bicycles carried aboard Intercity trains and packed the bicycles into luggage measuring 65 x 25 x 65 cm.
However, this was not allowed by KTM staff who ordered the group to remove their bicycles or have them forcibly removed. - The Vibes, April 2, 2024.
