Lol, i presume your working place maybe very close to train station, that's why so support on public transport. If your working place is about 400-500m away from the station, how many people willing to walk? Raining how? Is it safe to walk back to the train station if let say you back from office around 8pm? Furthermore, sometime the place you stay and your office may don't have direct train, you may need goto interchange station and then walk across and wait for train again, that's take time too. How about LRT to Monorail? Walk and rush..
You also need to ensure your kid school suppose to be around train station as well, otherwise you may need to turn back to train station, and guess what.. jam.. Most of the good township at outskirt has school nearby, no problem on that.
How about if husband and wife are working nearby? So, one car can feed two people, take public transport? Can, double the fees loh..
If you taking public transport, you will lose your commutability, die die also staying nearby office vicinity. If your working place got variety food xpe, if not everyday you take your lunch there until vomit also need take there as well..
One more thing, MRT also extended to outskirt city mah, if you think public transport is more convenient, then drive to the nearby station and take loh.. I presume the people stay nearby KL also mostly drive to train station. As a matter of fact, those people on board near the terminal station still many places to sit and still can rest on the train. Those living nearby KL when boarding to train, be prepared to be sardined and stand along the way to your destination lah. Imagine after sardined and standing in the train for 15 - 20 minutes and still need to walk 500m to your office EVERY WORKING DAY.. Make sure your office have bath facility ya, otherwise you may need to start your working day with "sticky" mode ya..

Maybe good for your health bro, those fitness center can close shop..
Bro, use common sense lah, public transport already there for some times already. If it really works, KL won't be more and more jam nowadays. If really one day city parking is raised to unreasonable rate, people who stay nearby KL and taking public train also need to worry. Why? Coz the terminal of these train will be in outskirt area, and people in these already will already fill up the train before reaching your destination!! You slow slow wait lah. If for me, I will still driving even pay high parking rate, coz during that time, KL no more jam mah (I must be dreaming), all go to take public train already...
Walau, how many shopping malls can match the city shopping mall like MV/Garden/Pavillion/KLCC in terms of variety? You thought those crowd in this shopping mall only consists people staying in KL only ah? So, the conclusion is you still need to drive to KL, paying high rate parking fees during weekend, especially when you already have a family.
I also hope can buy a house within walking distance to KLCC to avoid jam and taking public transport. But like our BBW said, boh lui mah... What to do, boh lui mah need sacrifice abit loh, either time, toll, petrol loh..
Never said cannot go nice mall. More options. Told u liao. Weekday save on transport, parking, time. Weekend can go as their like city or neighborhood mall. More choice. Even they drive also short distant jam short distant. No like those far away. Macam mana pun need to spent more long hour less option. Either park at MRt continue. Or die die drive down and jam.
Those 2nd teir township zone. Still OK. Semenyih is more like 3rd tier township zone. Location also south east corner which not so well surrounded by good township. Not as good as kajang area. U need to stuck with kajang people too. How sure u can get up the MRT even from the start. At city u have many ways. Mrt Bus or teksi or even by car. Car is just only short distant jam or half way jam. u long distant also lagi need to jam from the tail to end. Those township above u may come out to stuck your way first.
Many situation macam you create. And macam must follow u way. Near city macam tak ada township and school. Those near city township. Also can send their children. Then go work. Distant to work also short. Husband and wife work.nearby and near city so cannot use one car. Must stay far far away first Then baru use 1 car? Many things township near city or at city also can do.
Just township near kl may not many can afford landed. Condo maybe only option if wan stay close n convenience. If not stay far macam emj. To get better space. N less convenience.
