How is this data produced?
This dataset is derived from anonymous transactional data generated by the KTMB Integrated Ticketing System (KITS). The aggregated monthly totals are calculated by summing passenger counts across all origin-destination pairs for each service type (ETS, Intercity, Komuter, Komuter Utara, and Shuttle Tebrau), thus providing a snapshot of ridership across all KTMB services. As such, it is 100% consistent with the granular origin-destination data published on our site.
What caveats I should bear in mind when using this data?
It should be noted that the starting date is different across the different services, due to the phased roll-out of KITS, from which the data is derived.
