A cruel 10 minutes

Again, I was reminded of how bad the condition of our public transport is.

The journey from KL Sentral to Mid Valley by KTM train takes only 5 minutes to arrive. But these are the things that would lead you to frustration:

1. Frequency of the train is normally 20 minutes, with extremely high frequency of delays.

2. The number of people rushing into the train is extremely high, with over 50 people going into one carriage at once.

3. Frustrated with the long queue, people from the back of the queue would squeeze the people in front to go in, hoping that they don’t have to wait another 20 minutes for the next train to arrive.

4. The squeezing and pushing leads to the high frequency of theft.

So how are we going to move forward? With this speed of upgrading work, we’re moving backwards to be in par with India.
