The Monorel

As part of Anita's KL discovery program - after the LRT journey the other day - we went for a monorail - or the Monorel as we called it here in KL - ride today. We started just like the other day at Nu Sentral, although this time the monorail station was located on the opposite side of the mall to the LRT and KL Sentral main terminal.

It was still convenient. From the car park, we went up one floor from inside the Nu Sentral Mall and walked across straight into the monorail stop. Equipped with our Touch'n'Go cards, we were well on our way in no time.

Up the escalator at KL SentralNice artful detailing ...This time, it was four stops from Sentral to Berjaya Times Square. Took a bit longer than expected as we realised that the monorail actually travelled a lot slower than the LRT. Maybe for safety reasons. Not only that, it was only a couple of train cars long, half the length of the LRT. However, the chassis were wider with more room to stand.

You get to see a different view of KL from this vantage point ....Seems to be a city in perpetual developmentDon't jump across the platform ....The "non-security" ...Definitely convenient, helped by the smaller number of crowd on Sundays. Not sure it would be much fun when it was crowded!
