LRT

For most corporate slaves working in KL area, the most convenient commuting system will be the LRT, especially if you are from Kelana Jaya.

But hold..., in this country convenience does not mean comfort, okay? It's two separate things, two separate entities that is impossible to be mixed as one, IF you are in this country~

The LRT system here desperately need a good advisor on how to upgrade their level of service.

If the advisor himself needs advises, just go down the street and ask anybody about it! And everybody sure will be glad to give them a piece of mind or two.

Here is what I have experienced so far after been using the LRT lousy service for 1.5 year. Mind you, only 1.5 years and so many things happened!

1. LRT total breakdown for 2 hours back in 2006 where people were trapped inside the train without any ventilation. Is this mass killing or what?

2. LRT underground station flooded and commuters are stucked for dunno how many hours

3. LRT technical problem (which is very often, every 2-3 months once?) where the train will move at snail speed and stop very long in every station, and this usually will cause people being barred from even entering station!

4. LRT ticketing system (OMG..., why their ticket machine only accept coins???)

5. Still LRT ticketing system, imagine this, they have 4 machines accepting your tickets / touch n go card, but 3 broke down and only 1 works AND this is a very busy station, imagine the long queue just to pass through that before another queue to fight into the train itself.

6. The most often case that happens, LRT air cond decided not to work, especially during rush hour. Imagine, packed trains, the guy beside you stood with his arm up grabbing the rail hold, AND he happened to forget to shower or has BO, and there was nowhere for you to turn. YUCK!

Even if you successfully step into the train, it does not mean you must let down your guard, as there is possibility of train stopping halfway due to technical issue, as per the complaint no. 1 above. Talking about trauma!

Riding on LRT really will increase blood pressure and stress level. But still.., nobody gonna do or can do anything about it.

Sigh~~~

I even tried to log a complaint by sending them email, but what do I get in return?? A reply mail with LRT ads in it!
