GrumBLe on public transport (BUS)

Last Friday, decided to test the latest updates on public transport. Actually I know the location I want to go but I left my car at the office. Just try and see. How is the latest public transport? Hmmm - still not up to date!

Okay, from Jln Pantai Bharu to HKL quarters, if by car - it takes only 15 minutes (if not congested) but how about public transport? I used up 2 hours. More over, this is the 1st time I tried it. On the afternoon, I called up Rapid careline and asked for the direction, which bus I have to take if I want to this location. So, they gave me 3 choices of bus. I was thinking the bus coming from Kg Baru area - hmmm but no - the bus is using unfamiliar road - So, I was lost for direction. They said, have to wait at Medan Pasar/Lebuh Ampang for each of this buses but they didn't say I have to catch the bus! I wait patiently for the bus to come but suddenly the bus stop at the middle of the road? So, in order to catch the bus, you have to cross the road? OMG! OMG! What if suddenly a vehicle approaching and ram into you? The said bus is U1 and I didn't even see U5 and U66 as per advice earlier!  Yes, there is other bus like Metrobus but I don't like how they drive those thing!

By this I wasted one hour for taking the advice bus but end up on the wrong place. I know I'm supposed to take Kg Baru bus bcoz is nearer to the target location but I end up following the bad advice given. Better luck next time! Taxi is much more expensive, better I drive myself!  Did I regret choosing public transport that day? Nope, it teach me not to depends on them next time - Waste of time! Government have to rearrange them carefully and more friendly for 1st timer like me. I wonder if the 'Bus Stand Klang' to be upgraded for this?  Another thing, don't take bus to Klang, a question will pop up on your mind , "Am I on the Right Bus?" - bcoz most of the passenger are not Malaysian.

Even though this is my 6 years working in KL, I still hate living in the city. The city like Kuala Lumpur only for earning living and suburban for living.
