Better buses!

So, if you live in Klang Valley (KL) and you haven't heard, there's been a few new bus systems, the Bus Expressway Transit (BET) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).

Key points in this (hopefully) wonderful awesomeness :

• shorter routes for people in targeted areas
• shorter traveling time (dedicated bus lanes)
• MORE EFFICIENCY, which is what we all truly want.
  

The other BET routes are as follows :

(1) Penchala Link (Kota Damansara to Pasar Seni), with an estimated whooping 70 minutes reduction in travelling time (from 120 minutes to 50 minutes).

(2) New Pantai Expressway (Subang Mewah to Pasar Seni), with an estimated 15 minutes reduction in travelling time (from 75minutes to 60 minutes).

(3) Grand Saga (Bandar Sungai Long to Pasar Seni), with an estimated 35 minutes reduction in travelling time (from 85 minutes to 50 minutes).

(4) KESAS (Sri Muda to Pasar Seni), with an estimated 15 minutes reduction in travelling time (from 90 minutes to 75 minutes).

So far, (1) and (3) have been launched already :)

I personally experienced one of these awesome new implementations today, BET2 -- from Pasar Seni to Sungai Long -- which is supposed to be 35-minutes quicker than the usual U41 bus. I must say, me likey :)

Now, BET2 doesn't go through the usual route that U41 takes, which means it doesn't go past Jusco Cheras Selatan. It DOES go past Cheras Leisure Mall, which is a great plus for those of you who are sick of Cheras Selatan already. Other than that, everything's great! Definitely felt like we traveled a much shorter distance as compared to the usual bus.
