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.
