Buses and trains* - Bachelor Girl

I finally found time to go to the capital and hang out! I travelled around relying on buses and trains - and loads of walking too!



Since i dun own a car anymore - and in view of the crazy price petrol costs these days, i decided to try out the public transportation. And was suitably impressed.

I took a bus from USJ right up to KL Sentral - the Rapid KL buses. It was clean, new and comfortable! Aircond was actually cold, seats wif head rests, ample leg space - all for the price of RM2 per day! Yup, taking a leaf from the UK buses, they sell day tickets for less than 30 pence!!!

As for the LRT and the monorail, they have been around for a while - and are always convenient when travelling within the city.

It's nice to be driven around - i took the opportunity to enjoy the sights that i've missed for the past year or so. I could even take a short nap on the way back home as the bus snaked thru the traffic jam along the Federal Highway.

And i guess going round in public buses and trains reminds me of going around when in the UK (Minus the breaking out into buckets of sweats when walking to and from the stations/stops).

So it was a good outing and i managed to take some nice pics too! :-) But i forgot to take water (took along an empty bottle) and pain-killers, and i ended the day wif a massive migraine! Oh well...

*The only international hit from this Aussie group. Used to love this song!
