Specifically, that 18 years old guy is me or you can refer to all 18 years old guys generally. It's up to you to decide. Okay, why do I need a car?
First, I'm staying at Taman Shamelin. Heard this place before? It's located few kilometers away from Pandan Jaya LRT station. That's not the main thing why I should have a car. The main thing is, I'm college-ing at TARC. If you don't know where is TARC, it's located at Setapak, KL. Of course if you would to compare the distance of TARC and other famous colleges, TARC is much closer to the main city. Still, it's also a 20 - 30 minutes drive from my house with an average speed, ranging from 60 - 80 km/h. If you don't plan to drive, your alternative would be the subway or the PUTRA line. There is one thing if you're taking the subway, it's very packed. Yeah, you heard me, it's VERY packed. During peak hour, KLCC and Ampang Park will be the MOST crowded station where the amount of people who enters the train exceeds the amount of people who gets down from the train. It's also very troublesome to take the subway, as you need to top up your railway ticket if you're using a stored value ticket.
Another factor that makes the subway to be SO packed during peak hours is the increment of fuel price. Though the price has been dropped to 215 cents per litre, thrifty Malaysians still plan to have their journey by train. Although the railway transport is slightly cheaper after the recent fuel price dropdown, but it's very tiring too. As you have to walk from the subway station to your desired destination. One good example would be from the Taman Melati station to TARC. Although the distance between the subway station and the college is within walking distance, one will still need to be alert of the traffic at that place and one has to walk up a steep slope in order to reach the college.
Besides that, so many people crowded in the subway can also be an advantage for pickpockets to do their stuff - stealing. Since the railway is so pack with passengers here and there, you may not be able to roam around and you'll have a lot of body contact with another person as the train is SO packed with passengers. You may not be aware with the people standing beside you or you're in between them. Thus, pickpockets can just swipe your wallet or cell phone just like that. So to those dudes who are reading this post, be aware of pickpockets. In addition, now the economic level ain't good enough, these folks may just come next to you and swipe your wallet off just like that without you noticing it. For more info on how to avoid being swiped? Watch Bangkok Dangerous and see how Kong did it on those American tourist. xD
