1. Putra LRT system error. There are times my client told me that the door will open and wouldn't close for more than 5 minutes. At such moment, it will be very stuffy and the train is always packed. For one trip from KLCC to Kelana Jaya can fetched up to 1 hour journey.
2. Flooding. I don't know how real is this. At Masjid Jamek station, when the door opened, it seemed to be that the flood water will rushed in to the train during stormy days. Masjid Jamek Station is underground.
3. Train traveled back. At one time, the train has to travel back to Kelana Jaya station due to door malfunctions. Door apparently stuck and couldn't open.
4. Overloading trains. Try hopping to a train during 7pm at Central Market is suicidal. Waiting time can exceed an hour dues to overloading trains.
Above are just a few of many horror stories about Putra LRT. No matter how advanced is our technology it doesn't matter when we can't even solve our mass transportation system ie. busses and trains. There's no point of us achieving metropolis for KL if the mass transportation systems are a laughing stock. If above problems happened in city like Tokyo, there will be a huge problems for everyone. Stop building tolls and highways to make money, make more transportation options for the people.

Today 12/2/08 there is another farkin story abt putra, poor maintenance is the issue, despite a day collection worth more than a million by farkin Rapid KL. Well you Wilson, stop condemning the train, its lot better than 5 years ago. It just those farkin Rapid personnel and directors must be farked up.
First of all, thanks for reading my blog. No matter how, it is still a problem. Social issues and mismanagements will be a key issue on our social economy downfall. This might sound a bit too much, but without good management, we will go nowhere. It is sad isn't it?
