KL commute Jack

Jack experiments what working in and traveling to KL entails. Sooner or later (sooner, more likely) we're getting displaced to KL office, seeing that the benevolent company has bought a whole building, so this Monday we took a trial run exploring the option of taking Star LRT to work.

I'm pampered. I hardly ever take public transport (unless you count airplanes). The prospect of taking public transport daily to work is something new and not at all exciting. Much as I prefer driving (ah - the personal space), I'd rather keep my blood vessels intact than drive out of USJ in the mornings.

Trashycan has outlined the available options of getting to work in KL from Subang. This is the route Jack and me tried.

7.20am leave home
7.50 reach Star LRT Bukit Jalil. Actually I didn't realize until I was at the station platform that I was actually lost. I meant to reach Star LRT Sri Petaling station. =P.
8.02 Finish U-turn, leave Jack in open-air parking (RM 1.50 per day), walk across big drain to station, zap TouchNGo and wait at platform.
8.25 Reach station Sultan Ismail.
8.26 Got scared by the rush of people hurrying out of the station. What's the emergency? All the otherwise wonderfully dressed people were rushing head forward, legs trying to desperately catch up. Like chickens running across the street hahaha.
8.27 Finish gaping at the chickens running across the road. Begin walking to office. Getting acquainted with dirty diesel-ly KL air.
8.40-ish Reach office.

Not a bad daily commute. The traveling time can be cut down quite some, since I not that familiar yet.
Not bad, leave at 7.20am daily as opposed to currently leave at 8.20am...
