For all its multi-million Ringgit investment, this station is only for ticketing, boarding and disembarking. It is not meant to be a self-contained station with some basic services. The cafe is only recently added, with little business to appear profitable. Even the lights at night were only switched on minutes before a train arrives. This morning, the ticketing office was opened a few minutes late. There was a slight improvement in the opening hours: 8.30 am to 6.00 pm, it used to have a lunch break which inconvenienced those who came at the wrong time. My wife commented that they did not know they are providing a service.Friday, May 06, 2011
KTM Batu Gajah railway station...
is a place of many 'Cannots' or 'Do Nots'! This sign speaks for itself...

This morning, there was a young Malay lady who said she was at the station since 7.30 am! A good example of someone who got a lift there because there is still no public transport available, even though she knew the train was scheduled to arrive BG at 9.29 am. In fact it was 6 minutes late.
