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!

commute like 1 year plus ady

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?

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
*
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?

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

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.
*
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.

lekas toll fees going to kill you. not to mention bottleneck prone area are (Saujana Impian, Batu Tiga, Tmn Conought)
*
Lekas toll rate is 1.3, which is fine. The expensive one is Silk which costs a whopping 1.8.

Saujana Impian has no jam right? And yes the rest of them would seriously kill

Stop luring too much in those semeyih property thread. It is illogical to stay in semenyih and work in KL. Unless you super enjoy stuck in jam and burn huge fuel and go out super early and go home late. All these just for salary less than rm10k.

got mrt and ktm bro. What's the difference in time compared if you were to live in Pouching area?

I just moved to Pelangi Semenyih 2 recently.
Travel to & fro Midvalley takes about 45KM each (about 45mins each)
But I ride motorcycle lor..

Leave at 8:30AM from home, reach office roughly at 9:15AM (flexi hour)
Leave 6:00PM from Midvalley, reach home roughly at 6:45PM

If using lekas (that Setia Eco Hill route), add another 3KM to and fro.
Since I ride Bike, i just go through semenyih town. faster.

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 see i see...that's what i plan to do after i moved in to Semenyih...driving to train station and take train to city center. Maybe rent an unit at town for weekday and go back home on weekend.

Im not sure about you. You expecting a manager to park and ride and took LRT ot KTM to work? Seriously?
*
seriously bro...what's the big deal about one's corporate status with his choice of commute to work? My regional manager last time also took train to work and my current manager also doesn't drive to work. If a car is really necessary for work purposes, a manager could easily maintain a car around the vicinity of the office. What's more Uber is always at your fingertips smile.gif

I moved from ampang to semenyih last year. I commute from semenyih to kl and subang and cyberjaya. My wife commute daily to kl golden triangle.

It takes around 1 hr during peak hr. If school holiday is even quicker 45 mins. As for me to subang it normally also take abt 40 mins, cyber is quicker 30 mins.

I don't complain as it is the secured environment and space which prompted me to move and no more 5 times azan prayer noise tongue.gif

no kidding bro...what way you take and what time is it?

Holy shit. So many people with the same predicament as I.

For me I work in Mid Valley and I take the KTM Kajang daily, which is about a 30 minutes ride only.

Sometimes I drive at about 7 and then I can reach Mid Valley about 8.30 or so with jam.
*
where do you like? Semenyih or Kajang? The road to Kajang KTM is very jam in the morning right?

i just cant understand those mrt hype on area like semenyih rawang or others

let's think the places of u went for last week except office, how many places are really accessible by mrt??

even mid valley are accessible by ktm now, i wonder how many of u who live nearby a station are really using it to reach there, especially family

malaysian mentality is there d, number one choice of traveling anywhere is always driving

so mrt is just a gimmick to push up property prices like semenyih, which are really fuarking not convenient
*
hi bro, peace out. the mentality of driving is unavoilable simply because the public transport system has too many flaws presently. With that, I disagree that "malaysian mentality is there d, number one choice of traveling anywhere is always driving" as it's only with the progress of time we could witness if the train + bus system could attract more people to forsake driving as the one and only means to travel.

Btw, I consider myself lucky because I've been able to use public transport to go to work. It's fast, convenient and cheap as compared to driving. So on the other hand, I don't understand why do some people opt for stucking in the jam when they have option to use public transport hmm.gif hmm.gif
