Spent my November 2012 vacation at Kuala Lumpur for a period of 5 days 4 night. Stayed at Sunway Putra Hotel, I spent a day travelling to Pavillion at Bukit Bintang. From the Hotel, in fact I could easily catch the LRT (PWTC station), to Titiwangsa (RM1.20), and change to monorail to Bukit Bintang (RM2.60). However, since I was travelling with my wife and a seven-month-old infant, I decided to catch a taxi, and it cost me RM15, sounds reasonable to me for a 10 minutes drive.
However, at about 7pm while I was trying to get a taxi, the taxi driver quoted me RM50, and refused to run on meter, I am talking about the normal budget taxi, not the LIMO or executive taxi. Now its the time I experienced the brutality of KL taxi driver. Well, if they behaved that way, then I had no choice but to take the train, which cost about RM7 for 2 adults to travel from Bukit Bintang back to my hotel, Sunway Putra Hotel.
Beautifully and gracefully decorated Pavillion. Worth the visit and shopping.
However, the taxi drivers left me a bad impression on overall Kuala Lumpur taxi services, it's still fine with me as a Malaysian. As for tourists from other countries, I pity them as they have no clue on how to use local train and bus services, and resorted to paying expensive taxi fares to unethical taxi drivers. -->
