Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Riding on the Commuter Train

The commuter trains in Kuala Lumpur are reasonably timely and frequent. The trains are air-conditioned and can consider it comfortable unless you have to stand for 15-30 minutes during the morning and afternoon office rush hours. Anyway the trains get you on time and beats getting stuck in the city's smog filled traffic or trying to find a parking space.

A major complaint heard from passengers is 'squeezing like sardines' during the rush hours. Anyway, I've had similar experiences in other cities around the world such as Tokyo, London, Singapore, New York and Washington, D.C. In Tokyo, your are 'mushed' instead of 'squeezed' and therefore I shouldn't complain about the trains in Kuala Lumpur.
