Hi all, need serious advice here...Recently there have been much development in Semenyih, particularly the eco setia link that significantly reduce the travel time. Just want to ask if you anyone of you who have first hand experience of living in Semenyih but working in KL? How's the commute like on a daily basis?

Thanks!

if u ride moto, like 30 to 45 minutes using lekas. > cheras kjang hway > jln loke yew to kl.
Drive be prepared to start journey at 5.30
commute like 1 year plus ady

Until there is train connecting that area, i doubt it is worth to travel

For my case its from Rawang to KL
last time when I work in KL I really feel lifeless, everyday just getting stuck in the train, stuck in the jam.
Every morning wake up at 5.30am and get back home at 8pm.
so if you don't mind being lifeless, then yes, go for the job

Driving to work is inconvenient due to the bottleneck near Cheras. Unless you work off-peak hours, it really isn't a good idea. If you're thinking long term, then maybe things will improve once the MRT services are up.

Will be moving to semenyih too next month and working in KL sentral..thinking of using ktm kajang before the MRT kajang starts.

However not sure on the parking system at KTM, some say difficult also to get parking and need to get there early.

Driving is still not a good idea eventhough the SP setia interlink connecting to Lekas is now available but still long way to drive with tolls and traffic.

Motorcycle wud be gud but dun have one for now so train it is.

Also looking for other alternatives

whats ur ride? everyday commute like this whats the fuel $$ u spent on the moto?

ride yamaha fz, fuel spend around rm15 for 3 day. previously take ktm, but aways too pack like tuna.

ride moto more jimat n faster.

xD im riding fz too!!
cool.. but 15 for 3 days @@ damn, what speed r u usually at? wad time keluar.
next year my internship might be in KL so i nid to do some research first (from cyberjaya)

Bump fist bro.

usually around 100 to 120, but after toll batu 3 start jam slow oni coz need cilok2. my work hour start 9.00 so around 745 start riding. U from cyber usually around the same lalu mex

The 30 to 45 minutes is off-peak right? peak-hour i check google map need about 1 hour to kl...why do you need to go out so early? What time you start work?

Rawang distance to kl is about the same as from Semenyih to KL so i guess it's comparable. Why you take car and train together?

Hi bro, are you living in Kajang or semenyih? If semenyih i think the alternative is to go to UKM/ Bangi KTM station

yup...i'll only be moving into that area after the MRT is up and I've been taking public transport to work...just not very sure how convenient it's to park in the station.

ktm pack like tuna? i thought their service is quite good now with all the new trains? when was the last time you took the train?

syukur kerja bukit jalil.. duduk cheras...

weng weng sungai besi.. sampai.

syukur.

Well, the buses are not frequent at my area, so Its better for me to drive to the train station, if not I may have to wake up even earlier, and also packed like sardine in the bus

I'm moving over to Semenyih too. For a start, I'm gonna travel daily from Semenyih to Subang. I don't think it's a good idea to travel long distance on a daily basis just to get to work. I'm considering moving where I work to somewhere near to Semenyih, like maybe Bandar Baru Bangi.

mine funny story..reason I bought house at semenyih because previously I work at Mines thus not so far away from semenyih so pretty convenient or so I thought

It turns out I got new job at KL sentral now all plan change already.. Gotta use KTM which Im not really used to because previously only driving to go to work.

lekas toll fees going to kill you. not to mention bottleneck prone area are (Saujana Impian, Batu Tiga, Tmn Conought)
