Kuala Lumpur's Trains & Public Transport (LRT, Monorail) 

actually the price for rail transport in KL is not calculate by length but by zone. you may get cheaper price for a more longer distance but can also get a much higher price for much shorter route but normally the price won't exceed RM6 i think for any single trip. you can change to several type of rail mod but the price won't get too much....

Actually the writing on the back of the money is not Arabic. It’s the original writing script of Malay language before it was romanised. The writing is called jawi. it has Arabic characters and some of its own jawi characters made to adapt to the Malay language. It’s still bahasa melayu but in a different writing script. Time stamp 1:56

Not only Malay, Chinese & Indian but also the Sabahan (Kadazandusun, Murut & other 40+ ethnic) & Sarawak (iban, bidayuh & 40 others ethnic)

1.8 mil peoples only in kl territory...the metro includes klang valley which total population more than 8 mil

The LRT in Malaysia is practically good. But as a local i find our transportation still needs a little bit more of attention.

Religions in Malaysia : 61% Muslims 20% Buddhists 10% Christians 7% Hindus 2% others/folk

Price is not the only measure, but also efficiency, on-time, cleanliness, quality of the infrastructure and must be handicap friendly.

Many Indonesians said their MRT is cheaper than Malaysia MRT but in reality is it is double the price our MRT.

Correction: KL city itself is about 2 mil, but the public transport network actually covers Greater KL that has about 8 mil people. As a local user of KL public transport network, tbh, the network is not adequate still. You will find Singapore public transport much easier to reach and more efficient. Singapore public transport infra is one of the bests in the world, second only to Seoul.

"Doesn't feel like a Muslim country" What does a Muslim country suppose to feel like though? Saudi Arabia? haha

I met this Canadian man yesterday's in my restaurant where i work.. And he nice guy and also generous give me tips :) I'm excited when it comes to foreigners traveller or backpakers because i can practice my english communication well.. :) sorry if my english worse

The first train you were on runs on bombardier system. Made in Canada. The reason most are up in the air instead of underground, it's the rain... nothing like a tropical downpour. And it's cheaper and easier to build and maintain, no snowfall here to worry about

Hi, welcome to KL. I enjoy watching your vlog. Nice introduction of KL rail network. Good job..👍🏼 Please come again to KL in 2022 and you will experience another line for MRT (SSP) that will take you from Bukit Bintang or KLCC to the second tallest building in the world (under construction).😊 Looking forward to your next video on SG rail network.

More interesting info, Malaysian citizen get to enjoy unlimited ride for rapidkl, LRT, MRT and BRT for just RM100/monthly aprox 25USD/monthly. Super cheap!

1:56 Yeah, same as Iran, they use Arabic letters to write and read in Persian. If you think about it, it is not as bizarre as you might think. As here in Malaysia we use alphabet letters (European origin) to write and read in Malay. Same with Spanish, French and German, they all use alphabet with some changes. Jawi is taught in school so that the knowledge won't die in the future. Same like Gaelic, it is taught in school as well but in certain part of the UK. Great stuff man. I hope you're enjoying your stay here in Malaysia. KL also has free bus services (GoKL) with wifi for those really really want to save money like students and low income working class. They are petty awesome too. There was another Canadian (The Cycling Canadian) did an extensive coverage on these free buses. You can check on his channel if you are interested of knowing more.

Great video, informative.....such beautiful, clean transit systems and cities

One of d best ways to view KL is either on d train, LRT, MRT or hop on hop off free bus rides.

Most youtubers that I came across were mostly Americans and Britons. Canadians are kinda rare....lol.

From my experience “Lone Ranger” , the difference between lrt & mrt is their space and seatings . As for similarity, peak hours definitely packed. Btw I love travel by public transport in Malaysia. To my fellow citizens, have a good sense and manners to keep these accommodations for our own good

LRT and Monorail in Malaysia are pretty good. Komuter is a hit or miss, but generally are pretty bad. The Komuter trains are fine, it's just their complete inability to follow their own schedules that is a big problem for commuters. As for why we build above ground, it's because of two reasons. The first reason is that our ground is mostly limestone and building criss-crossing underground tunnels in compliance with safety standards is very expensive. The other reason is that we believe that building aboveground is more futuristic and elegant.

If you noticed, the coaches of the Putra LRT you took to KLCC is made by Bombardier, a Canadian company.

the thing i like about monorail or LRT is just the smell inside of it

As a local I'm not proud about the trains but about the trees and greens still preserved while developing the area. That's rare

Actually its 9 millions people, including greater KL. Wawasan station is actually in USJ district which is in selangor state (greater KL)

The Arabic Writing is called 'JAWI' which is the Malay Language written in Arabic writing. It is part of the History of Malaysia, as it was the official writing before the colonial era changed it to romanised writing. Malay was a lingua france in this region and JAWI was commonly used especially on money, coins, official transcripts of the government at that time.

Personally, since I have been and used a lot of the metro system in Asia, i think i can give my take on this.....Singapore is much easier to move around as the land mass is much smaller, easier to control and manage..... Most of the tourist spots are all accessible through the MRT ( Mass Rapid Transit ), SGD 1 = RM3 , Can't deny that part, Singapore is most expensive city in South East Asia.

it's a shaded walkway but you still walked on the sunny side haha

You can use touch n go card at bus ( rapidKL ) and parking park , if you got touch n go apps more you can use ,

Btw this is not MRT. This is LRT

1.8 Million people living in Kuala Lumpur. Those working in Kuala Lumpur can tally up to about 3 Million people more or less! Actually Malaysia is considered a not-so-populated country, hence the reason you still can see landed properties are still being built here and there... Skyscrapers are being built as a symbol of modernity and economic power in KL. You can take a look at The Exchange 106 Tower at Bukit Bintang which surpasses the height of the Petronas Twin Towers, and more floors (106 altogether).

U should try the new MRT, i think much better than LRT

MAAN the vibes that KL and MALAYSIA give out are something else. If it just wasn't so hot.. I'd move there LOL

The map u just point out is an entire map for the Klang Valley or Greater KL. Which has a population of 8 million people. KL's population is small, but Klang Valley is huge and I believe more must be done to connect all people from the suburbs to KL. ☺️

Greater Kuala Lumpur : 2 lrt lines (1 u/c) 1 mrt line (1 u/c) 1 monorail line (1 proposed?) City train line, and passing through ktm train from north to south the peninsula. We also have a lot of highways, I don't even know how much of it, for 8 million people? This is the best transportation system.

Loving the train series

It may seem cheap to all of us from richer countries, esp compared with Europe metro. Remember Malaysia is a place where many fresh graduate could get only US$620.

It is cheaper for local Malaysian who could buy a monthly pass that cost RM 100, which will give you 30 day of rides.

I subscribed you guys after watching this video. And this video has been here for 7 months! Good job Steve and Ivana for achieving 30K and good to see the numbers are growing.

We don't made it underground bcs it cost alot and the structure of the land is most of it limestone in kl

Actually 10% of Malaysia Population are in Kuala Lumpur... 3mil people actually in KL.. not believe?? Wait until festival season... you will see how many cars on roads leaving Kuala Lumpur

fast fact. the first train, and the line you are using was made by Bombardier.. a Canadian company..

Using cash (tokens) is more expensive, although not much, than using the touch and go cards. there is usually a fare table shown somewhere in the station that show's the difference between tokens and TnG cards.

No the subway map not to cater 1.8million KL people, but 7.5million Klang Valley people. KL city centre is considered 1/10 of major district in the valley

Correction Kuala Lumpur city have 1.8 million but All greater kuala lumpur(KL,PJ,Klang,Shah Alam,Kajang,Rawang and Sepang all Cover 7.7 million people

Actually the machines are not down , fyi the ticket/token machines at Kelana Jaya & Sri Petaling Line are meant to top up the old rapid kl card not touch n go card , you may top up your touch n go card at the counter or any specialise machines for the touch ngo , btw nice vlog 👍🏻, and yeah one more you guys are quite unlucky because the lrt and monorel had severals new coaches & had been refurbished very nicely 😬

Nice video...population of greater Kuala Lumpur is near 7 million. It is a megacity and cosmopolitan. I do want to visit this city.

❤ KL..

I think, you have a misguided info. the touch n go card can only be top up at their own machine or rapid counter. the machine is not broken as mentioned

monorails in KL was amazing. I miss it sometimes

Nice video. Keep up the good work!

klu tgok dlm video nmpk biasa2 je, tpi dtg dulu kl tgok monorail, ktm, mrt, lrt msti org rasa hebat sistem nya. bole buat pening

Long live the Arabs, long live the Muslims عاش العرب ، عاش المسلمون

You cannot topup the value of Touch N Go cards at the LRT station token machines. It is for the older RapidKL cards before RapidKL migrated their entire cashless payment system to Touch N Go. To topup the Touch N Go cards just go to any convenience store like 7-11, MyNews.com, or use the blue Touch N Go topup machine (available at most stations, but not all)

Now you can get a day pass for RM10 and 3 days pass for RM25 . SAVE YOUR MONEY

you didnt go to MRT..this is only LRT

FYI, the vending machine in the LRT is not faulty. Since the opening of new MRT SBK line (July 2017), all the vending machines on the LRT station are only able to use to purchase token The TVM were only used to reload MyRapid card previously ( which is a totally different card from the new MyRapid Touch 'n Go card). At the moment, you can reload your MyRapid Touch 'n Go card from the Touch 'n Go machines (in blue or Green) available in selected stations, petro stations, station customer service counters (reload fee applicable) or convenience store etc.. Hope this clarifies :)

Singapore’s public transport fare is not near 3x Malaysia’s

Did u know that LRT kelana jaya line is the exact copy of Skytrain canada?..the trains/systems..we kinda copied skytrain back in 1996..but now some of the systems are not the same..but the trains and the Automatic Train Control system remained the same with skytrain..

touch and go card only can be top up at the counter (RM0.5 service charge is required) or at touch and go toup up kiosk (50% of the station will have it, blue in color). Cannot top up the machine that you use in the video.

K.l is o.k, , Malaysia is o.k in her way....o.k

klcc is kuala lumpur convetion center also

You visit malaysia at summer season no wonder why it is hot 😂

ไทยแลนสู้ๆ ตอนนี้ต่อให้ก่อนอีก3 ปีจัดเต็ม

I miss Wawasan station, LRT/MRT/ everything in KL. #lockdowm here!

rapid transit system in malaysia 2020!

My experience with singapore n hong kong many years ago...they are ahead in terms of regularity/timing and seamless ...

Hey, if you have the chance, I think you could try going to pasar malam(night market) in Malaysia, there are lots of good street food there.

Gauging the train itself was only part of it, try the bus and komuter train. The latter 2 are the ones connecting the biggest amount of residence in Klang Valley while having the least improvement over the course of 10-20 years. To sum up what you have said, I do agree with the train service to be good. But the public transport as a whole is not on the same level as what you could find like the one in Singapore.

Dangggg... u are cute handsome dude. Welcome to Malaysia.. the truly Asia.

Correction. The train maps for 7 mil in greater KL meaning including kl uptown, or Metro KL.(5mil) so KL in not what you see around downtown only. (1.8mil)

public transportation in malaysia 2020!

There is a new underground metro line u can try called MRT

The Arabic character (script) on the Ringgit note is not arabic words, it is Malay word written in Malay Character (script) called Jawi. Before 1964, all malay writings (books, newspaper, Manuscipts etc) are written in Jawi. Before that we have our own Pallava and Kawi script before 15th century. Malay Scipt Jawi is still our official Malay scipt.

I’m wondering are certain lines you can transfer WITHOUT paying twice? That’s how it is in America 🤷🏼‍♀️I can’t wait to move here almost the same pics in NY I’ll most likely pay more then $70 USD per month if each ride is almost $3dollars 🙄🙄every day more then 10 rides. Also is their a direct train or subway that goes from KL to Penang? Thanks❤

You said that after three days Singapore trip will come where is it please share the link???

transit in malaysia 2021!

U forgot MRT... U can access to Bukit Bintang, Negara Museum and Merdeka square faster and more efficient than monorail.

CONSTIUTION MONARHCY in Malaysia,similar UK

Not 1.8 million people, if you are talking about metro area. It serves 7 million population, please get the fact accurately!

KL MRT LRT MONOREL system 350km distance..Jkt only 14km..Msia pop 33 mil..Indonn pop 267 mil..

tbh for the public transportation especially inner city like KL, Malaysia win than Jakarta hope Jakarta build more lrt and MRT line soon, and monorail too😌 but brt system in Jakarta is best

nice experience

just use grab bro. u will get. rm 070 sen perkm and 25 sen perminit

I believe you got the old footage for Sri Petaling line (note the intro and B rolls). The line uses new red+white colour trains since end of 2016. The old trains were used since the 1990s and were replaced.

rapid transit in malaysia 2020!

Our LRT is Like Vancouver SkyTrain

Try the public train in Thailand too.

Kuala Lumpur's train bus is not in accordance with the general road travel, walking way is very arbitrary change, I met many times

Does your Malaysian friend stay outside of KL? I was honestly surprised when he tried to top up the TnG card using the token machine. The RapidKL card was changed to TnG card since 2017 so most people that took the train for the past 3 years knew the difference between the older and newer machines. If he does stay in KL he probably drives around a lot and only bought tokens for the rare times he actually took the train.
