Received this from a friend.
Here's a suggestion to assist your traveling
budgets.
Do you know that you can travel from KL
Sentral to KLIA for as low as RM12.50 instead of the
normal fare of RM35.00?
Can't blame you for not believing that this is possible.
A closer examination on the ERL fare structure
using the link below will reveal the following
weakness
Sentral(1) --> Bdr. Tasik Selatan(2) RM 4.20
Sentral(1) --> Putrajaya(3) RM 9.50
Sentral(1) --> Salak Tinggi(! 4) RM 12.50
Sentral(1) --> KLIA(5) RM 35.00
But, Bdr. Tasik Selatan --> Putrajaya RM5.30
Putrajaya - -> KLIA RM6.20
So to save money on fares
1. Either take the ERL to Putrajaya for
RM9.50. Get down and buy another ticket from
Putrajaya to KLIA for RM6.20. Total cost works out
to RM15.70 instead of RM35.00 The inconvenience is
having to wait for the next train for about 15 mins
(peak) or 20 mins (non-peak). But the substantial
saving of RM19.30 per person may be worthwhile.
Or
2. Take the Komuter to Bdr. Tasik Selatan for
only RM1.00. From here take the ERL to Putrajaya for
RM5.30. Get down and buy another ERL ticket to KLIA
for RM6.20. The total costs add up to only RM12.50
instead of RM35.00. This option is cheaper by
additional RM3.20 but the additional hassle may not
be worth the additional saving.
ERL is banking on the fact that despite this
apparent weakness in the fare structure, nobody will
take advantage of it mainly because everybody is in
such a hurry nowadays!
But then who knows, with escalating prices,
more people may take advantage of this in future.
Happy travelling!!!!!!!
