Kuala Lumpur Hop-on Hop-off Bus - WARNING

If you have a day or so to spend in KL (as I did) DO NOT be
tempted to use the much advertised hop-on/off bus service.
I was so tempted.
They advertise a bus every 30 minutes.
At one stage I waited two hours and then had to take a taxi.
They have only 3 buses for a city circuit that takes 3-4 hours to complete.
So the average wait is over an hour and at KL peak traffic (6am to 11pm)
even longer.
Much, much longer.
Be warned.

And taxis are cheap anyway in KL and give you so much more flexibility.

Light Rail's a far better way of getting around in KL. Cheaper too.
