The reason why the KTM Komuter trains are so much cheaper than the ETS trains from Taiping to Kuala Kangsar is that on the long-distance ETS trains, you can only travel in a reserved seat.
On KTM Komuter trains, seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, with a wide central aisle for passengers without a seat to stand.
As KTM Komuter train tickets are only sold on the day of departure, no advance planning is required to purchase your train tickets (unlike for travelling on ETS trains, where advance booking is highly recommended).
Just get to Taiping station 15 to 20 minutes before the next Komuter train is due to depart, buy your tickets from the station ticket counter, then take the next Komuter train heading in the direction of Ipoh.
