There is one Kuala Lumpur Transportation System

almost every visitor will come across and this is the 8.6km KL Monorail serving the heart of the city. Its the Bukit Bintang area. It also provides a link into the city's other public transport system by connecting with the Putra and Star light rail networks. Bukit Bintang is a vibrant area of shopping centres, hotels, and outdoor cafes.

The Ringgit 1.2 billion ($US 315.8 million) line has 11 stations and carry about 85,000 passengers/day. Fares compare favourably with taxi fares and, unlike Putra and Star, which are loss-making and had to be rescued by the government after running into financial problems, KL Monorail is confident of paying its own way by raising money through station sponsorships as well as through the fares.

The problem with this Monorail Kuala Lumpur Transportation System is that most time its extremely overcrowded due to a very

long interval between trains coming in and not enough carriages running, it seems nobody is able to manage this monorail system in the right way beside of the fact that it would be very easy to do it orderly.

Actually this is not only with the monorail but also very evident with the underground rail service. At any time e.g. all ticket machines at the stations are not working. There are lots of problems like the machines aren't working all or they wont accept a certain money like the one maybe wont take coins the next wont take notes and so on. The result is dozens of people cueing at the manual ticket counter, if asked why no repair, everyone is laughing. All this rail transportation stuff is great but the handling is very poor. Be aware of the taxi sharks, Kuala Lumpur taxi driver are even worst than their counterparts in Bangkok and very similar to the guys in the Philippines. Cheating is rampant, mainly be refusing to switch on the meter. The left picture shows the bus used on the long haul routes to Singapore and Hat Yai in Thailand.
