When we're about to go out sightseeing KL, my sister told the family, "we should board a commuter! it's easier that way". First thing that comes to my mind is, commuter? what's that? some sort of taxi services? And it all started there.
Practically my sister deal with all the tickets thing. Well she's been living in KL since 13. So we take the commuter from sri petaling to KL sentral and then transit into another comuter as we want to go to Mid Valley Megamall.

It was nothing special for me at that time. But now, when i'm at INTEC, Shah Alam, i just realised how important and crucial the commuter or generally, KTMkomuter in the societies's daily life. It makes it possible for somebody, to go from Batu Caves to Perlabuhan Klang. And the fare is only RM5, for a 50KM journey. Now that's amazing if you ask me.

As for me, I can go to Mid Valley and Subang easily. We as students can also save our money. Thanks to the technology nowadays, which make it possible for us use public transport more conveniently and cheaper.
But nothing is perfect in this world right?
KTM for example, also has it flaws. The most easily recognized is of course, it's speed. The average speed for a commuter is 120km/h well that pretty fast. BUT still slow, compared to other country, such as Japan which can go up to 402km/h and France commuter with its 350km/h speed.

In a nutshell, it's amazing for Malaysia to have such a complicated and modern railways system. We the community get tons of benefits from it. However, as a rapid developing country, we should always strive and try to make our technologies gets better and better. Thank You :)
