Good news everyone~! Well not everyone. Just for those who travel back and forth frequently between Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur - like my friend YunRu ( 'gila' geh ).
As of Dec 1st, the Ipoh - Kuala Lumper shuttle (KTM) has been officially launched!
The best part has yet to come. Apparently, the one-way fare is
as low as RM10! Now that's even cheaper than taking a bus or driving your own car!
Travelling time is said to be not more than 3 hours and will be cut short to 2.25 hours once the new trains have arrive - which most probably be next year. Stay tuned! =)
"We plan to make Ipoh the next Seremban, where people can work in Kuala Lumpur but still live there," says KTM Berhad managing director Datuk Abdul Razak Abdul Malek.
Yeah right, as if anyone would sit in a stupid train for 6 hours everyday. I'd rather die.
The service starts at as early as 5am and the last train
departs at 9.45pm.
There will be 10 trips a day, five each starting from Ipoh and KL Sentral.
The train from Ipoh will make nine stops: Batu Gajah, Kampar, Tapah, Sungkai, Tanjung Malim, Kuala Kubu Baru, Sungai Buloh, Kepong Sentral and the old Kuala Lumpur train station, before arriving at KL Sentral.
That's about all on the KTM. This by far is the best news I've seen in the newspaper - second best was about Jennifer Hudson's estranged brother-in-law being arrested for the murders of the actress' mother, brother and nephew. Screw that son-of-a-biatch!
And I've been waking up at the exact same time for 2 consecutive days. 10.40am! Is this some kinda sign? o.O
Oh and do check this site out. Very enlightening indeed. *wink*
Later~!
