Transportation
Pasir Mas is part of the Rantau Panjang Line of Keretapi Tanah Melayu's KTM Intercity service and is the interchange with the service's East Coast Line that ends at the town of Tumpat. The nightly Ekspres Timuran from Johor Baru usually reaches here at around 9 A.M. The Ekspres Wau departs at 6.30 P.M. for the 13-hour journey to Sentral, Kuala Lumpur. The Rantau Panjang Line continues towards the north with a station in the border town of Rantau Panjang and links to the Southern Line of the State Railway of Thailand. A new train station, which replaced the original at the same location, was completed in July 2008. The reasonable fare attracts small-traders, who would board here with various goods - usually foodstuff from Rantau Panjang- to transport to the interiors. The trains' scheduled arrivals and departures often create traffic-jams in the town several times daily. A carriageway connecting Lemal and Kubang Panjang over the railway track is being built to overcome this. Trains no longer stop at the hamlet station of Tok Uban along the way to Tanah Merah. Bus From Pasir Mas town, it is possible to go to any state capital in peninsular Malaysia without having to change buses. However, buses departing from these state capitals with Kota Bharu as the final destination might not pass through Pasir Mas. But those with Rantau Panjang as the final destination, will. The most popular inter-state bus company is Transnasional, which is majority-owned by a federal government agency. Syarikat Kenderaan Melayu Kelantan SKMK has a monopoly of inter-district and intra-district bus routes. There are direct buses to the main towns of Kota Bharu, Rantau Panjang and Tanah Merah and vice-versa; which depart every 30 minutes from 7am to 6.30pm. The bus-station is at the centre of the town; about 100 metres from the train-station. Taxi
