Rail Transportation in Malaysia
Rail transport in Malaysia consists of heavy rail (including KTM Komuter,
KTM Intercity and ECRL), light rapid transit (LRT), mass rapid transit (MRT), monorails,
airport rail links and a funicular railway line. Heavy rail is mostly used
for intercity passenger and freight transport as well as some urban public
transport, while rapid transit is used for intra-city urban public transport
in Kuala Lumpur, the national capital, and the surrounding Klang Valley
region.

Kuala Lumpur International
Airport.
The longest monorail line in the country is also used for public transport
in Kuala Lumpur city center, while the only funicular railway line is used in Penang
Hill.
