The new MRT Line that goes from Kwasa Damansara to Putrajaya has opened and as announced by the PM, the ride is free until end of March. My friend, Elaine and I decided to bring our girls to experience the train ride to Putrajaya. Missy and I started our journey from the Awan Besar (Sri Petaling line) and we got off at Sg. Besi station. It connects to the Sg. Besi MRT line and we waited for Elaine and Amber there. I am quite impressed with the MRT stations as they have protective doors that only open when the train arrives. I haven’t seen these on the Sri Petaling line before and we can always jump down to the train tracks (not that we want to do that).
There were some cute and bright seats for commuters to rest while waiting for the train at the MRT station. Once we have reached Putrajaya Sentral which was the last stop, we hopped down for some coffee and donuts. Elaine wanted to check out how it goes to the KLIA airport from there. We can take the train at the next platform to KLIA and the ride is about 15 minutes from Putrajaya Sentral to the KLIA and the fare is RM11 per head. Maybe it’s better to take the train to the airport from KL Sentral as it goes direct.
After we have reached the Putrajaya Sentral (last stop), we took the train back to TRX (Tun Razak Exchange) and then changed to Kajang line to Cochrane station which is connnected to Mytown shopping mall. We had lunch at Ikea and went shopping. It was a fun outing for all of us. We were also surprised that the rides on the other lines like Sri Petaling and Kajang are all free as well.
