Even in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, trains and buses are not as convenient as they go. The price is low, but the waiting time is long and it takes a lot of work to investigate. This time, I would like to introduce a means of transportation in Malaysia that will satisfy both time and money. I will write recommendations for short-distance travel and long-distance travel. Short distance movement (within 15 km) As I wrote earlier, trains and buses are definitely inconvenient in Malaysia. However, taxis are much more convenient and relatively cheaper than Japan, especially in Kuala Lumpur, so they are recommended. Still, taxi prices are high compared to local costs. Also, the fare is often decided on its own, and you may be charged RM40 (about 1000 yen) just by running a few kilometers. So we recommend a dispatch app. Use a dispatch app like Uber or GrabCar to save money and save time. If it's a couple of kilometers, I don't even have a RM15 (400 yen). The first recommended point is that you can ride with confidence because the price is decided before boarding. Easy to use Uber and GrabCar Search and download the app Personal information…
