KTM Intercity (Malay: KTM Antarabandar) is the brand name for a group of diesel-hauled intercity train services in Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB). Most services operate from Kuala Lumpur Sentral station in the Malaysian capital, plying the West Coast Line. A few operate solely along the East Coast Line between Tumpat and Gemas and on to Singapore. Several Intercity services along the West Coast Line had been converted to KTM ETS; more services will be converted in the coming years.
KTM Intercity has long enjoyed moderate success, but increasingly faces competition with road and air travel, as expressways (motorways) increase in number and budget airlines offer shorter travelling time. In 2006, KTM Intercity earned a profit of RM70.94 million as group revenue, hovering around the RM 65 million mark since 2001.[1]

Local and express services
There are two types of KTM Intercity train services: Express and Shuttle. Long-distance passenger trains along the East Coast route (Tumpat - Gemas - Johor Bahru Sentral) are express trains calling only at major stations. The East-Coast line also still has mostly shuttle trains calling at all stations and halts.
KTM Intercity also runs a shuttle service, the Shuttle Tebrau, between Johor Bahru and Woodlands, Singapore, providing an alternative to cross the busy Johor–Singapore Causeway.
Operational services
With effect from 1 July 2011, operations in Singapore have moved from Tanjong Pagar Railway Station to the Woodlands Train Checkpoint. All passengers will embark and disembark from the checkpoint, and it houses a combined CIQ facility for Malaysia and Singapore. As of 1 July 2015, all express services and Shuttle 41/42 are being truncated at JB Sentral. The JB Sentral-Woodlands CIQ sector is replaced by a Shuttle service which is Shuttle Tebrau. Passengers from north of JB Sentral who are going towards Woodlands CIQ must change and board the Shuttle Tebrau at JB Sentral.
