Taking the commuter train from Arau to Sungai Petani is often the best option as trains are more frequent and much cheaper.
The main difference between the two services is that commuter trains are like subway / tube trains and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis so you may find you will have to stand for some or at times, all of the journey.
