Public Transport in KL

It's been a long while since my last post on my blog, have a sudden urge to pen my thought. Most Singaporeans tend to complain the slightest hiccups about our public transportation; taxi, bus or MRT , you name it. Was in Kuala Lumpur recently, would like to comment on the public transportation there. For starter, the taxi fare is much cheaper than SIN but some ignorant commuters might end up paying much more for a short ride if not careful. A friend and I tried to board a waiting cab at the taxi stand in Bukit Bintang , we were quoted RM35 to go to a nearby destination. Of course, we declined his 'generous' offer, instead chose to hail a moving cab. Within minutes, we got a cab based on meter charge and we ended paying only RM15 for the ride, a big saving for us. To be fair to the cab drivers in Malaysia, not all are the unscrupulous sorts, I have met some honest & friendly ones too. Here in SIN, our MRT and LRTs are interlinked which is god-send.
