The Seremban Line (Malay: Laluan Seremban) or Seremban Komuter Line (Malay: Laluan Komuter Seremban) is one of the three KTM Komuter Central Sector provided by Keretapi Tanah Melayu. KTM Komuter is an electrified commuter train service first introduced in 1995, catering especially to commuters in Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding suburban areas. It is a popular mode of transportation for commuters working in Kuala Lumpur, as they can travel to the city without the hassle of traffic congestion. Coaches are modern and air-conditioned. For those who drive to the stations/halts, 'Park & Ride' facility is provided at a nominal charge.

The system is one of the components of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System.

Rawang-Tanjung Malim Shuttle Service

The KTM Komuter service was expanded to include three new stations beyond Rawang on April 21, 2007 under what was formerly known as the Rawang-Rasa shuttle service. The stations are Serendah, Batang Kali, and Rasa. This 22 km stretch is the first portion of the Rawang-Ipoh double tracking and electrification project to become operational. The service was extended to Kuala Kubu Bharu on January 5, 2008. It was further extended to Tanjung Malim on June 1, 2009, and the service is thus renamed as the Rawang-Tanjung Malim shuttle service.

Passengers have to disembark at Rawang and take the Rawang-Tanjung Malim shuttle service for these stations. Service runs at 30 minutes interval. The first and last trains to leave Rawang are at 05:42 and 21:24 while the first and last trains leaving Tanjung Malim are at 05:42 and 21:54. Journey time between Rawang and Tanjung Malim is 45 minutes.

On 1 October 2015 KTMB announced the introduction of the new commuter service for Seremban-Gemas stretch. The new service will be plied by 3-car KTM Komuter trains running the electrified double tracks at speeds up to 140 km/h. Spanning over 100 km, the service will stop at Seremban, Senawang, Sungai Gadut, Rembau, Pulau Sebang/Tampin, Batang Melaka and ends at Gemas.^[1]

The service will be offering 59 services daily - 55 services between Seremban and Pulau Sebang and 4 services from Seremban to Gemas. Trains start at 5 am and ends at 11 pm. There will be a 30 minute interval between trains. Travel time from Seremban to Pulau Sebang is estimated to be at 38 minutes while a trip from Seremban to Gemas will take approximately 65 minutes.

The service had been operationally effective 10 October 2015.
