13/7/2016 Explore Whole LRT Line in KL

I no class anymore at today. I suddenly plan to explore whole LRT line in Kuala Lumpur which is the Rapid KL LRT.

I start my journey at Nilai due to I am studying at Nilai.

Part 1: To Putra Heights

I board the KTM Komuter to Bandar Taski Selatan first.

Next, I interchange the LRT Ampang Line to Putra Heights.There is no direct train service from Bandar Tasik Selatan to Putran Heights due to new track from Sri Petaling to Putra Heights is using the new signaling system. So I need to interchange at Sri Petaling to continue my journey to Putra Heights.

I use my Rapid Card because it get discount for my fares.



I wait the new train for Ampang Line LRT "AMY' arrive.


Finally arrived.


The LCD TV show the final destination and the information.


The dynamics route map also show the terminal station is Putra Heights and information.

Let's watch a short video before continue read the following part.

You can see the IOI Puchong Jaya station is beside the IOI city mall. The IOI Puchong Jaya station also can be seen during the train make a curve before reach the station.

Now I start to plan to have a trip to JB Sentral by ETS to Gemas and Shuttle Selatan/Express Selatan to JB Sentral which is would have at December if no unexpected error. Please keep look for my update in my facebook page. Train lover. Thank you.

**Notes:
  1. Effective 17/7/2016, there are no more interchange at Sri Petaling for who want to go to Putra Heights. The train will have a direct service from Sentul Timur to Putra Heights. While to Ampang need to interchange at Chan Sow Lin.
  2. The train either Ampang Line or Kelana Jaya normally is stop at platform 1. Platform 1A is Kelana Jaya for while Plaform 1B is for Ampang Line. Same platform share by both LRT Line to easy passengers to interchange without go down to the concourse.
  3. I recommended you use the Rapid card or Touch'n Go card to save time any money.
