My recent LRT ride
I took the STAR LRT yesterday after a long long time (haven't been taking the train much since I got my own car). The journey was pretty "pleasant" and it took me +/- 30 minutes from "Bukit Jalil" to "Ampang" on my way back from work. For those who wonder why am I on LRT, it's basically a car pool project with colleagues due to the recent fuel price hike. Yes, it might sound dumb but what da heck, haha
I reached the LRT station at around 7.15PM and I boarded the train towards the "Chan Sow Lin" direction. The crowd was pretty small and the ride was fine. As I need to get back to the "Ampang" station, I'd have to transit trains on the "Chan Sow Lin" station. As we all know, Malaysians have a "wonderful" habit of not queing up for busses nor trains. The train towards the "Ampang" direction was terribly packed when it reaches and the crowd boarding the train was just as many. As expected, everyone rushed towards the train when the doors open.
I know I'm not doing it right but since I wouldn't want to wait for the next train, I squeezed myself in. The door could barely close but thankfully, I was thin enough, haha. The ride was alright until someone farted in the train. It's hard but there's nothing much we could do but to hold breath for a while :) Nevertheless, it's a pretty fun ride and another day after work.
