KL Public Transport

One noticeable difference with Kuala Lumpur when I arrived yesterday was the public transport system. For the past few weeks, many Malaysians have been complaining about the public transport which has been inefficient and unreliable. And the government responded to this by setting up fund to improve the current situation. I, like many of my colleague in UK were very sceptical about this.

But I tell you now, from what I see yesterday, there are some improvements in the system. Take the bus service in my area for example. Before this, the frequency was like one bus in one hour during off-peak times and one in half-hour during peak times. Yesterday, the bus came every fifteen minutes! Wow, I must say that I am impressed. Congratulations to RapidKL (The company set up by the government to manage Kuala Lumpur’s public transports).

Well, that was just one observation about Kuala Lumpur 24 hours after I got here. I have until 22nd of April to see if there are any other major improvements in and around Kuala Lumpur. Until then, I’ll sign off here. Ciao.

P.S. I went to Mamak stall last night and I had Roti Canai for breakfast today :P ,
