Nibong Tebal and Bagan Serai has their own train stations and Komuter Northern Sector do make a stop in all of the stations, however except for Gold services which only stops 4 time a day, ETS don't make a stop in both stations. Hence, when it comes to long distance travel especially to Kuala Lumpur, Parit Buntar is a choice for these town residents, including students of Universiti Sains Malaysia engineering campus and MRSM Transkrian.
