 +=== Klang Valley Public Transport - Expectation Management ===
 +
 +Here are some worst-case scenarios to plan for (or at least, to soften your misery coming from Singaporean expectations).
 +
 +  * **KTM/KTM Komuter**
 +    * Up to 1 hour off-schedule
 +    * Sometimes trips go missing due to faulty rolling stock, etc.
 +  * **RapidKL Bus**
 +    * Up to 20 minutes off-schedule during peak hour jams (especially on rainy days)
 +    * Use PULSE or Moovit app to check live arrival times
 +      * Note that **only green/orange/red-colored arrival times are live data on Moovit**; white-colored arrival times on Moovit are scheduled thus could be up to 20 minutes inaccurate
 +    * There is only 1 Touch-n-Go reader at either door, and it is slow and unreliable
 +    * You can actually board or alight from either door (but inform the bus captain if you are contra to passenger flow)
 +    * Passengers do not move to the rear and bus captains rarely try to manage crowds
 +    * Buses only stop at bus stops (taxi stands look very similar to bus stops but buses will not stop for you there)
 +    * You must step out and flag the bus, or it will probably bypass the stop
