Unlike cities like Singapore and Bangkok, being Carless in Kuala Lumpur is not a breeze. I am amazed how many of our locals depend on it and do not get upset at its lousy state. Perhaps its just me, having a car for so long, I have gotten too comfortable, or perhaps its the locals who have never been to cities where the trains are on time and the different lines actually connect well!! I went to megamall yesterday, taking the LRT from Kelana Jaya to Abdullah Hukum. I mean, one can see Megamall from Abdullah Hukum, there should be a way to walk there easily right? WRONG! I got down and tried to find it, almost wanting to give up till a nice Indian guy saw me walking dazed and asked me if I was headed towards Megamall. I said yes, and he told me to walk down along the storm drain and I would eventually see a bridge. The walk took me about 30 minutes but eventually I arrived at Mega mall. After going to the Gym and buying 2 nice working pants for RM29 each on sale, I had enough of the mall and wanted to heads towards KLCC. My original idea was to take the KTM Komuter towards KL Sentral and then change to the putra line. I entered the station using my Touch n Go card, and waited for the Sentul bound train. The sign on the digital board said the train would arrive in 20 minutes!! I though, ok, perhaps its a long train. There were less than 400 people waiting, so I thought it would be ok. After 2 announcements of the train delays, after 1 hour of waiting, the crowd waiting to board the train had increased to almost 3000 people!! And when the train finally arrived it was packed full!! I told myself there is no way I can get into this train and unwilling to wait another hour for the next train, I exited the station, only to realize they took off RM10.00 from my Touch n Go card!! The cost of a round trip to Seremban! Crap! I finally walked 30 minutes back to Abdulah Hukum, and headed to AmCorp mall instead. I knew the mall would be deserted but at least the CyberCafe would be open and I could play a few games. Sigh…Our public transport system sucks!

On this day in History..
