I’m shameful to declare that I’ve never ride intercity train in Malaysia after being Malaysian for 23years! And last week I make the decision to travel by train as the bus station has moved to Bukit Jalil so it would be nearer to go KL sentral instead.

Second class (SOBS..second class citizen like this larh)

I would say our train system still has huge room for improvement.

Cus they do not have this —>

And this –>

Very VISIBLE station name

I had to paranoid-ly open my sleepy eyes to check whether I’ve reach my destination everytime the train stops. -_- And I couldnt see the station name cus they only put ONE,YAT KO,SATU (To join the 1M tagline) signboard for each station. Sumo it was written in CAPITAL LETTER! So if you miss that ingenius signboard, you wouldnt know which desert you are in. Fortunately, KTM came out with a solution (to prevent travelers from overshoot), which is to hire 10 (maybe 20 ppl) to carry a small piece of paper with guest’s seat and their destination. They will come to you when the next station is your destination. Hahah..I wonder they are creating more job opportunities or what?

My train was on time ( i’m glad about this) and it costs only RM21 to Ipoh (no jam, no diesel smell, no bumpy roads and no on-the-road accident). So I will recommend people to take train instead of driving to produce less carbon monoxide to our earth (chey..sound like a green ambassador).

Last few pictures are for Miss Hew. Germany cute guys.
