I haven’t gotten used to it – the distance and traffic going to and from work. When I see the long queues, I get so disheartened and wonder why something can’t be done to our road systems. Or do something to improve public transport to reach high traffic areas.
On my 4th day of work, I was stuck in traffic for more than an hour. I realized that the jams were caused by the traffic policeman. The flow of traffic from different directions was given different priorities. On one direction, he allowed traffic to flow for minutes on end while for another, you could count how many cars got through. If we just go by the traffic lights, I think everyone would benefit more regular flow. So why plant a man there to cause jams???
While I was fuming mad in the car, I asked myself whether it’s worth it to travel the distance and be stuck in traffic like this every working day. Is it?

girl..
learn to take better routes! I did! I used to commute from Bangi, taking the Sg Besi way, pass the TUDM airport and straight to Jln Tun Razak.. Bugger, the traffic moves so damn slow!
And now, I take Sg Besi, then take NPE (pay extra toll..but it's worth it), exit Bangsar and take Mahameru to Jln Tun Razak. Jam a bit before PWTC, but the traffic still moves. And my journey will take me abt 30-45 mins.. cool huh?
today i left for work a bit earlier and the jams don't look as bad. but the price to pay is my slumber dreams...hehehe.
not bad for you to get to work in 45 mins max all the way from bangi!
