 | Kuala Lumpur LRT (Light Rail Transit) Reviews | Tips 11 - 20 of 76 |  |
I liked the LRT. Is a fairly efficient and easy train system to use.
Can take LRT from Sentral to KLCC among other places. Was only 1.60 each way. Leave a Comment |
Its very convenience and you can get from one part of the city in an air-conditioned train and much faster then taxies too.
You buy the ticket and mentioned the destinations and pay for it. You can also get monthly pass (mostly for locals who work and stay in the city). I usually buy the RM20 or RM50 ticket and use it till the value finished.
We have two LRT system one is Rapid KL (from Sentul Timor to Ampang and to Bukit Jalil) Putra LRT is from Terminal Putra in Gombak to Kelana Jaya station. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro |

Go to any of the LRT stations (get a good map of KL first btw...), buy a ticket at the machine which you can see on my photo or you could also buy at a counter if you are not sure where you are going, to ask for the prices.
On the photo, notice the 'direction map' on top of the machine, it also lists prices so that you know the amount to insert in the machine.
NO BIG NOTES please, change some coins first better... Leave a Comment Theme: Train |
It was after the rain that I took this LRT, to 'go down to KL' as Malaysians like to say when we want to err, go down to KL...
Quite nice experience really like I felt that I was watching what was in front of me, like a first time tourist being on my city ! Looming at the not so far distance, I could see some buildings that make up of KL... Leave a Comment Theme: Train |
Look at some weird looking buildings from the LRT train; Most locals don't even know what they are called ! They are just there to make a good sight ? To show-off ?...Whatever, take a pic of that & do your research later...
The photo shows a tortoise-like building, near the Telekom Building, near MID VALLEY MEGAMALL, the longest shopping complex in Malaysia ! Leave a Comment Theme: Train |
Some stations are full of people, some stations hardly have anybody waiting for the LRT train.
it also depends on the times of the day, when people go to work, when people got off from work.
If you are not in the peak hours, you'll guarantee a seat, if you want to sit that is..if not, let the elderlys & pregnant women to sit on your place. Leave a Comment Theme: Train |
The buildings get bigger, the sights get better; I started to approach KL now...At this moment, I was just listening to the announcement of where to get off, from the ticket that I bought that is.
If you miss your destination, approach the guys working at the LRT & enquire HOW to back track to yuor missed station.
Normally, they would ask you to wait for another opposite LRT train & get off where you should...NO CHARGED WHATSOEVER. Leave a Comment Theme: Train |
There's no driver on Malaysian LRT trains...so, sit or stand at the very front ! You will have mega excellent views as the LRT trains surging fast forward.
You will have the so-called 'surburban' views around KL, housing areas, some buildings, some people down below...& for now, the photo shows the railtracks...
Get on the LRT trains as it stops in front of you, it would stop for maybe 10, 15 seconds... Leave a Comment Theme: Train |
So much for an intergrated transport sysyem - have the planners been taking lessons from John Prescott in the UK ?
The different LRT lines are run by different companies, and the normal tickets are not transferable.
At least the fares are cheap.
P.S The Putra line in driverless (very similar to the Docklands light Railway in London).
If you have children it means you can stick them in the front of the train, and they can pretend to be the driver.
My 4-year old nephew only talks in fluent Thomas the Tank engine speak and would love it to bits ! Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro |
