I'm going to be working at DC Mall next month, still thinking of what mode of transportation to take, drive or public transport.

I'm coming from Klang (so no LRT no MRT ) so only got KTM, but KTM is not an option for me because it's too unreliable.

Here are a few options that I can think of on top of my head:

1. Drive directly to DC Mall and pay season parking (Damanlela open site parking - RM200ish).

2. Drive to Kwasa Sental MRT Park n' Ride (RM4.30), take MRT to reach Pavillion Damansara (RM50 per month with My50), walk to DC Mall.

3. Drive to Plaza Batai / Jalan Batai, be an asshole and park roadside for free. Risk of saman and towing.

Right now I can think of the 4 options above.

Any other options you guys can suggest?

Thanks!

It's worth to note that there is this very weird rule for Park n' Ride, in order to qualify you have to fulfill certain criteria.

LRT / MRT hourly parking is usually expensive, but if you Park n' Ride LRT / MRT, it will usually be a flat rate of RM4.30. But here comes the kicker, in order to qualify for this flat rate, you have to ride at least 4 stations away from the station you parked at. Kinda defeats the purpose if you ask me.

So if you park in MRT Bandar Utama and step off MRT Pusat Bandar Damansara (3 stations away only), you are not eligible for the RM4.30 flat rate parking, kinda dumb if you ask me. You actually have to drive out to a further station with Park n' Ride to enjoy the flat rate.

Living in Klang at the moment, planning to reach work at 7.30am and leave by 4.30pm, hard to find people to car pool to fit the same requirements, some people OT and what not. Just by myself, then less complication.

I also think option 2, I can leave Klang by 6.00am, reach Kwasa Sentral MRT by 6.40am ish, reach DC Mall by 7.20am ish. And no I will not be renting a place near MRT. Prefer staying with family in Klang.

Thanks for the links and your option! Highly appreciated.

Not dumb but a bit discouraging for those staying near MRT station but office is only 3 stations away. So if you insist on park n' ride, you are forced to drive further away few stations, just to enjoy the park n' ride flat rate parking.

I will test run and see, but seems like others have been doing it for some time. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJsEhnhCcQA

No la, got car only ma. It's a 20 year old hand-me-down kancil.

yup maybe even later some more.

Take public transport lo, less carbon footprint also. Only last mile use car. If last mile can use bus I would.

Hi boss can you share with me their lyn / contact info, wanna ask them about taking KTM from klang. Cuz KTM website schedule and Google maps transit recommendation macam not tally.

in official site: KTM can go straight to KL Sentral then from there interchange to MRT
google maps: KTM -> LRT -> MRT

Right, in that case, I will probably the route below:

Take KTM Klang to KTM Subang Jaya, then LRT Subang Jaya to LRT Pasar Seni, MRT Pasar Seni to MRT Pusat Bandar Damansara.

No need to drive all the way to Kwasa Sentral from Klang.

Thanks so much bro!
