In Kuala Lumpur you can choose to go any hypermarket to buy your daily stuffs. In this post I’m going to talk about the Carrefour branch in Wangsa Maju. Probably this Carrefour hypermarket is the largest in Malaysia.
Here you can buy lots of things at cheap prices especially the fresh products like vegetables and fish. If you don’t have your own vehicle, this Carrefour Wangsa Maju is accessible by using the taxi or RapidKL bus no. 301 from the Wangsa Maju LRT Station.

Apart from buying your kitchen stuff you can also pay your bills here because there is a post office and if i’m not mistaken, that post office is open till 8.00 pm. So if you are busy during your working days you can go here to settle your bills, renew the vehicle license etc.

Another best thing here you can access the internet here for free if you bring along your Wi-Fi ready or enabled laptop/netbook because they provide Wi-Fi facility inside the building.
2 computers provided to access the Web (free usage)
If you don’t have the laptop, maybe you can try one of the 2 computers provided here for public to access the internet and you need the valid email address and password to use it but don’t worry because the registration is pretty simple.

If you are a foreign tourist in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia you may find that there are lot of buses as the public transport. However you can only use your bus ticket once.
I want to share with you about Malaysia government owned Rapid KL buses that have lots of advantages when you use them. Why? Because you can reuse the bus ticket till midnight no matter how many times you want to use the bus.
The only drawback about these Rapid KL buses are they are a bit late compared to another public buses and to reuse the ticket you need to get the Rapid KL buses with the same initial letter on it.
- A Rapid KL bus with initial letter T and no 301 at Wangsa Maju Putra LRT Station
This kind of bus just travel short distance and the Rapid KL bus in the picture above travel to Carrefour Wangsa Maju and the area nearby. The fare is RM1 and as I said you reuse it to take the T302, T304, T305 or the same T301 bus.
The RM1 ticket you get when using the Rapid KL bus above
However don’t get me wrong because there are another type of Rapid KL buses with initial letter U and you need to pay RM2 for the ticket with the same concept of reusing the ticket with another Rapid KL buses that have the same initial letter.
From the fare you can expect they travel longer distance than Rapid KL buses that you pay RM1 fare. I must remind you that you maybe bored waiting to reuse the ticket as you need to wait a long time to go back to your first place you take the bus.
Hope this post helps you to understand about this Rapid KL bus.
Update: Now Rapid Kl no longer use this system starting September 1st 2009. Here is the post about the new Rapid Kl Bus Fares.
