$30 Business Class Train in Malaysia 🇲🇾

[@RageCaGaming99]

Hi Luke, regarding the taxi in Penang. There was a junction at 38:35 between the ferry (Left) and Penang Sentral (Right). If u had turn to the left you could've save yourself RM59. The ferry is only RM 5 and it only takes 15 mins to cross the ocean. Taxi is a scam especially when they target tourists.

[@cedricyoung25]

why no grab? Did you know where can get the grab if ferry closed?

[@sjneow]

@@cedricyoung25 you need to get out of the building, maybe cross a road and get Grab from the roadside, with the Taxi's samseng attitude, the Grab drivers don't dare to go into Penang Sentral to pickup.

[@DrStevenNg]

No wonder ..all road leads to the taxi den. So guys, remember 38:35 turn Left 🎉 call grab from there

[@ROYAL_REBEL]

I didn't know it was that difficult to get transport in Penang.

[@sultrys2291]

Luke, usually people don't take the taxi from Butterworth to Georgetown because Georgetown is on the island of Penang. The best, more convenient and much much much cheaper option is the ferry and then taxi from the other side of the pier (on the island). I was shouting noooo then you decided to get a grab/taxi to the island. Ferry cost about RM2 from Butterworth to Georgetown. That price is not rip-off - it's an official price with taxi as you got it from the counter itself. You can get ripped-off if you negotiate the taxi off the counter. Taxi is pricier than Grab in Malaysia. Confusion at the counter: RM64 for you RM42 is for the other guy wearing grey jumper.

I'm a Malaysian who's been taking the train for the past 5 years. I agree with you on how hard it is to scan our QR code at the automatic gates. But I learn that it scans better if you print out the ticket on a paper than scanning them digitally thru your phones :) I print my tickets out all the time cuz the queue behind me stresses me out LOL

[@ia8874]

Hi Luke. Next time you ride the train and need to take the lift, always look around you first before following the crowd. When you arrived in Butterworth, the lift is actually just on the other side of the stairs. Most well known public transportation stations (or platforms) in popular cities in Malaysia, have been upgraded for easier mobility access- an elevator, and maybe also an escalator in addition to the stairs. You just need to look for the signboards or ask around. Anyways, hope you have a great time in Penang.

[@LukeDamant]

Thank you for the tip! I'll be sure to keep an eye out for lifts next time I'm on the train :)

[@raymondchiew50]

Always have to ask around. Then why not have proper signboards?

[@GoingForIt]

@@raymondchiew50 There are proper signboards, however people tend to pick the easiest accessed entry and exit points. This being the stairs where they got out from instead of checking to see if there is an escalator a bit further away. Hope this helps.

[@AzlindaRosAbdulAziz]

Hai Luke..!!! I'm sorry that you have a little problem with the transportation. It's actually easier and cheaper if you take the ferry to the island and then from the ferry terminal it's easier for you to get a grab once you're on the island.... it becomes expensive when you take a taxi because they paid for the toll when using the bridge plus grab is always cheaper because they don't pay rent to the company. Just for your info

[@LukeDamant]

Great advice! Thanks a lot for sharing!

[@gusprich8952]

Yes only 2 ringgit ,

[@21al-fajr]

Yes also because the hotel that you stayed is on the other Island, the fare will be more expensive due to traffic conditions. If you take the ferry, it will usually come every 30 minutes. The last trip will be 21:30/22:00. @@LukeDamant

KL Sentral station is very confusing I found! After flying in from the Uk then taking the KLIA Express it took my tired brain and eyes half an hour to find the monorail to Bukit Nanas but I was determined NOT to get a grab. Love this city great content mate hope you enjoyed Penang 🇬🇧 🇲🇾

[@LukeDamant]

Absolutely, KL Central can be a maze!

[@MODELNUTTY]

@@LukeDamant travel well my friend 👍🏻

[@tiadaid]

The Monorail is rather confusing because it was not properly integrated into KL Sentral, being situated way across the station. Honestly, the monorail line was built as an afterthought.

[@siddd88]

Thats why I hate signaging system in KL Sentral. They are made confusing. Directions are not well placed, not clear big and bold and easy to navigate. I donno which aunty is in charge in interior design n layout there that confirmed many of us get stressed before boarding our train. The most obvious is there is NO CLEAR SIGNAGES FOR KL MONORAIL!!! I believe it shud be put in gigantic size at the top of that escalators toward the kl Sentral mall. The design are very chaotic here and not clean at all. Overall, this terminal needs a whole overhaul n redesigned to be a minimalist spacious cool space.

[@shamshulanuar7718]

​@@tiadaidmay I enlighten you. KL Monorail was designed to connect Bukit Bintang right to Titiwangsa. KL Sentral however is a transportation hub for KL.

It's a pity that the lounge didn't provide rich food, otherwise everything would be perfect! It’s great that the train has its own screen to use! Overcooling of air conditioners in confined spaces is a common problem in Asia. It is really incomprehensible! I support you. That cup of coffee must be at least eight points full. The cake must be at least two pieces and the flavors must be different! The bento dishes on the train are really not as good as those in Japan and Taiwan, but if the bento is included in the train fare, then it’s okay! It's not your fault that you get lost in the train station, they should have clear signs or have enough attendants at the alighting area to assist passengers! 64 is 22 yuan more than 42. I wonder if this kind of confusion is normal in Malaysia? This is illegal in my country and the driver will be punished by the taxi company! Thanks for sharing your train journey, have a nice trip and take care! 👍🥰🙏

[@LukeDamant]

I agree, getting lost can be tough, but it's all part of the adventure!

[@aventus736]

Their currency is ringgit, not yuan. Also the taxi driver didnt mark up the price. Rm64 was shown on the screen for Luke's destination. Rm42 was the fare for the other person who wanted to go to a different destination. It was a simple misunderstanding on Luke's part due to the language barrier

[@ridzz]

Yeah.. Taxi drivers can be quite hostile towards Grab drivers in some areas. But frankly, the last time me we took the ERL to penang, we got on the ferry, and took grab when we are on the island. Much easier to take grab from there. Some Grab drivers don't want to go on the bridge because of the jam, or just inconvenient for them somehow.. 🤷

[@LukeDamant]

Grab's convenience can vary by location, for sure.

[@ABCDEF54181]

I think 64 is reasonable. The grab price shown is not inclusive of the toll fee for crossing the bridge, usually grab driver will add the toll fee when they complete the order. I think those grab drivers cancelled the order because they do not wanna cross the bridge, the fare simply can not cover their cost since they have no passenger for return trip.

Travelling used to be more convenient, 20 years ago. I used to take a train ride from Ipoh to KL for only 10 rm. Not much walking at the stations. There was a buffet coach where you can have a good meal. When I was a college student in the 70s, I used to take a taxi, shared with 3 other passengers, from Ipoh to KL, door to door service only for 8 rm! Midway, the taxi would stop, for us to have a nice lunch. Nowadays it would cost 500 rm or more, if there is even such a service! Luckily we can virtually travel with you,

You should have taken the ferry. Forget about the taxi fare, but taking the taxi meant you went one big round just to get across the waters from where you were standing. The ferry was THE way to get to where you wanted to go. So advice for other travelers: If you're already at Penang Sentral in Butterworth, do not take the taxi to Georgetown. You waste time and money doing so.

I found KL stations really confusing with how many stairs, lifts and bridges everywhere and I’ve been to Tokyo using their system which was so much easier!

[@nkve]

Actually it’s not confusing if you know which train (LRT, MRT, KTM komuter) you want to ride…there are all located on the GF except for the MONOREL which is located on the 1st floor… one side of the KL Sentral is facing the hotel (Hilton n Le Meridian) side and the other one is to the shopping mall Nu Sentral.

[@imjuzsayin..5017]

​@@nkveMRT station not at the same floor too. But you can find it by follow the signage. Plus there's an information counter with staff provided. What I found that many first time users missed a big transit map hanged on the wall nor far from ticket machines. The transit map provides information about the whole train lines, connections & stations (except ETS). They just go to the ticket machines which provide limited information. Then they will have problem to select which train line & find their final station. Next they'll try to buy tickets from staff at counters. But ended up staff will ask them to buy tickets from those machines.
