As usual with woman's itinerary, there were a few surprises as to where to go in between. Eg. I was told she has to change a pair of jeans in a shop near Central Market. She had taken the train before and supposedly knew there would be at least a stop at the old rail station in KL. The train did not stop at many stops. It did not stop at Sg. Buloh, Kepong, Segambut, Bank Negara, and I said to her, 'Are you sure it is going to stop at the old station?' Then it passed the old station and we ended up in KL Sentral! So we had to buy LRT ticket to Pasar Seni (Central Market). While in the train, she realized that she should have bought the ticket for the next stop ie. Masjid Jamek because she wanted to visit the jeweller in Jalan Tuanku Rahman. Actually, we went through the gate at KL Sentral LRT station without using the entry machine (not working). So she said why not try if it is ok to stop at the next station. When we wanted to exit, the ticket could not be used at a couple of machines. The guards seemed used to such incidents and we were directed to the counter. The lady asked where did we get on. I replied sheepishly, 'KL Sentral' and she replied kindly that we should pay 60 sen extra for both which was right without any penalty (Rm1.30 tickets but we bought Rm1.00 tickets).
We have heard of stories about some people making use of loopholes within ticketing system to get free rides in London Underground. But for this type, at least I can confirm with first hand experience that the system works. Syabas!
