Malabar is a train that serves the MalangBandung route with executive and premium economy classes. The name Malabar itself comes from a mountain located in Bandung Regency.

Early period

The Malabar train first operated on 30 April 2010 and served passengers from Bandung to Malang and vice versa. At that time, this train served executive, business, and economy classes which were arranged in one train.[1]

Extension to Jakarta

This train had its route extended to Pasar Senen on 1 December 2019, but almost a year later the route of this train was returned to its original state.[2]

Recent period

Since 1 June 2023, the business class has officially been removed from this train leaving two classes namely executive and economy, as well as the addition of a baggage carriage from the original one carriage to two baggage carriages. The morning schedule for this train was officially launched on 24 January 2024 from Bandung to Malang and a day later in the opposite direction.[3] Initially, this schedule used train sets made of stainless steel, but since 13 May 2024 these trains have used mild steel trains which were previously used for the Lodaya.
