Malaysia Transit Scraper — KTMB Rail & Easybook Bus Routes

Extracts Malaysian public transit network data from two sources: the KTMB rail station directory and the Easybook intercity bus route catalog. Delivers the station and route graph used by travel apps, MaaS platforms, and regional mapping services — without requiring live schedule queries or CAPTCHA solving.

Malaysia Transit Scraper Features

• Scrape KTMB rail stations across Peninsular Malaysia — ~150 stations covering ETS, Intercity, and Komuter lines with numeric station IDs and state groupings
• Scrape the Easybook intercity bus route catalog — 400+ Malaysia routes with city-pair metadata including distance, average journey duration, and operator count
• Filter by data source: KTMB rail only, Easybook bus only, or both in a single run
• Cap results with maxItems for sampling or testing without pulling the full catalog
• Runs on Malaysian residential proxy for geo-consistent content
• Handles rate limiting and retries automatically via CoreCrawler

Who Uses Malaysian Transit Data?

• MaaS platforms — bootstrap a Malaysia transit network graph without manually compiling station lists from PDFs or timetable PDFs
• Travel apps — populate route finders and journey planners with real station IDs and city-pair links
• Regional mapping services — overlay rail and bus networks on maps using structured place IDs and geographic metadata
• Transport researchers — analyze intercity connectivity, route coverage, and operator presence across Peninsular Malaysia
• Developers — integrate KTMB station IDs directly with the KTMB booking API for downstream automation

How Malaysia Transit Scraper Works

1. Select which data source to scrape: KTMB rail stations, Easybook bus routes, or both.
2. For KTMB, the scraper fetches the timetable search page and extracts the embedded groupedStations JSON — all ~150 stations with their IDs, names, lines, and state groupings, no CAPTCHA required.
3. For Easybook, the scraper fetches the Malaysia bus route directory, collects all route links, and visits each route page to extract static metadata: distance, average duration, operator count, and from/to place IDs from the embedded search view model.
4. Results are saved as flat records. KTMB and Easybook records share the same schema with null fields for inapplicable columns.

Scope and Limitations

This scraper extracts the static transit network directory — station catalogs and route metadata. It does not extract:

• Live departure times or timetables (gated behind CAPTCHA on both KTMB and Easybook)
• Fare prices or seat availability (CAPTCHA-gated)
• Real-time service status or disruptions

The station and route data changes infrequently and is stable for use in network graph construction, mapping overlays, and app bootstrapping.
