Continuing from Riding Malaysia's first MRT line - The start at Sungai Buloh.
The service, at least at this juncture of time turned out to be very regular. After waiting less than 3 minutes my first MRT train arrived.
The security doors installed at every station opens up in synch with the train doors and at the right spots. I stepped in and saw ample spacious room which looks spacier than that of the KTM Komuter trains...
Looking out from one of the windows.
Lighted info board to show which station are you at and which ones have been covered.
Looking straight down. I estimate this MRT to be about 200 metres long.
Next I walked to the head of the train to enjoy oncoming views. Some excited people have already beat me to it... :]
For the record the MRTs are remotely controlled and driven from control rooms situated at some stations or so. This allows people to stare right out of the front windshield.
The first station after Sungai Buloh is called Kampung Selamat. It is an obscure name which I only came to know that day...
Enjoying the trip and ongoings...
Situated at 20-30 metres or so above the surroundings the views offered are superb.
Next station, Kwasa Damansara. Another unfamiliar name.
Next, Kwasa Central. What's the deal with Kwasa anyway? What is Kwasa? An upwardly mobile (duh...) spelling for Kuasa which is Malay for Power or what?
On to another station...
After a while I could not be so bothered anymore about the station names. I think it's Kota Damansara followed by Surian or so. I was more concerned about views along the way, where everything is geographically located...
Ah. This old iconic building, the only tall one in the picture quickly made me recognise which area the train has arrived at.
It is at Taman Tun. Here I decided to drop out to meet some friends...
