Well? X Hell?: Public Transport in KL

Why is the LRT and Monorail of KL Sentral

not under one roof?

and you actually have to cross the road

and walk through something like this

and then the “dark dungeon”

wait till you see the city buses, airport buses, cab stand

before you see the light

 

Why do they tell you

never trust the clock of KTM?

Why are the faces of politicians

sticking all over the coach?

 

Why some guys still do not

get to interpret this sign correctly?

Would they end up entering female toilet?

I wonder?

 

Why do you have to walk really really fast

when you are crossing the interchange between

Dang Wangi and Bukit Nanas?

Which one do you prefer?

Using the flyover pedestrian walk but

at the risk of being robbed or

running across the road (illegally) before

a car or many cars are speeding towards you?

Why was the pedestrian walk so empty?

Am I at the right place?

 

Why do I have to go through empty building like this?

 

Why isn’t there a way to get to the

smaller buildings in the background

without going through the tall one?

 

Why did I choose to exit the empty building

via the wrong gate and

ended up walking round the business park?

 

Why did I always feel that I will end up

boarding the wrong train at Chan S.L. station?

 

Why is Chan Sow Lin station called Chan Sow Lin?

ask Wiki, don’t ask me

Chan Sow Lin (陳秀連), 1845-1927,

a wealthy businessman in the iron works industry

This man was also known then as

The father of Chinese iron works in Malaya

 

Why is the river forever dirty?

 

Why are the people not

making use of the railing to queue?

 

Why is the LED display on trial forever?

Why is it showing alien signs?

Damn I saw my bus, but it wasn’t stopping

 

Why is the bus information counter closed

when I need it the most?

 

Why is the so called transport hub is

only catered for the free-tourist-shuttle?

 

On the other hand, I finally found my bus.

The buses are stopping just like this

the red bus is probably better, since

it is on the left side of the road

and there is ample space in front of the building.

 

But for this side of the road,

look out for the car, while you are boarding the bus

because you are actually standing in their way

I found the exact photo from TheStar

 

and Wiki told me that

Pasar Seni LRT station is

also one of the main bus hub for rapidKL bus

the bus hub is also referred to by the public as

Terminal Jalan Sultan Mohamad or

Prasaranakota as both bus hubs are

located next to each other

 

so which is which?

and why are the buses stopping by the roadside

instead of utilizing the transport hub?

and 28 buses actually stop here?

 

Why do I always feel so unsafe in this city?

thank goodness

the city is not that hopeless still

when there’s actually guy who wears

New Balance in suede beige and

chambray shorts

 

opps did the guy in all-black

no I am not trying to be racist or something

he is in black head to toe,

except the shoes

I mean, did he catch me red-handed?

 

so close yet so far

all I wanted to do is

to capture his sneakers!!

 

yeah I came out at 8.20 a.m.

and reached the venue at 11 a.m.

few minutes late since I kinda lost my way

 

and coming back was another story since

I was trying to catch the bus at the right stop

and this is the first time

I actually took a bus

from the first stop right till the very last

 

and that’s not the end of the journey yet

45 minutes till the 1-hour-frequency bus was arriving

nevermind, I have got use to utilizing the time

doing some grocery shopping at Carrefour

 

finally

 

but I got what I wanted for

for the long winding trip
