Previously the main international airport, it is now mainly used for domestic flights. Most Malaysian states have domestic airports and plans are underway for the further development of several airports. Boats may easily be chartered and river buses and taxis are plentiful. The fast daytime 'Express Rakyat' runs from Singapore to Butterworth, and continues on to Thailand. Express trains are modern, and some have sleeping berths and buffet cars.
Some trains are air-conditioned.
Other than this line, there are two main lines operated for a passenger service. One runs along the west coast and from Singapore which runs northwards to Kuala Lumpur and Butterworth, meeting the Thai railways at the border. The other line separates from the west coast line at the town of Gemas and takes a northeastern route to Kota Bharu and Tenom. There is also a passenger service to two of Malaysia's seaports - Penang and Padang Besar on the west coast. There are no rail services in Sarawak.
