Crash and Down
Sep 25th, 2008 by papabear
The title sounds like a post about an airplane accident but in this accident there was no airplane involved. As for the down part, you need to read on.
Yesterday at about 6:30pm at the Bukit Jalil LRT station, an LRT train from Sungai Besi decided that it was too tired to continue working and made a sudden stop 200 meters away from the station.
At the same time, another LRT train that was still enjoying the job came by and rammed into the train that stopped. As a result, apart from the usual, loud, crashing sound, 6 passengers were slightly (as claimed by the news) injured. No train driver was injured as this LRT train does not have any driver….
RapidKL, the train operator, said that they will bear all the medical costs (since only slight injuries involved) for the injured and the train resumes the operation today. The cause of the accident is still being investigated. Exhausted train has been ruled out as the possible cause…

At the same time, as announced yesterday, the fuel price has gone down by 10 sen today. The new price is now RM 2.45 for petrol and RM 2.40 for diesel. ( $1.00 is approximately RM 3.50 ).
Asked whether the Government would implement a free float system for fuel prices, Shahrir said it was too early to think of that although it was one of the matters discussed.
So folks, it is cheaper by 10 sen per liter now for us to drive for balik kampung during the Aidil Fitri Eid holidays. Drive safe and avoid peak hours to save more on fuel.
As adviced by the authorities, plan to travel after dawn but if everybody takes that advice, then there will be congestion after dawn. Then what?

Correction: September 26, 2008: 11:31am:
The LRT trains in the news were ex-STAR and therefore, they’re driven by human unlike the ex-PUTRA.
