Smart ways
- 1. Either take the ERL to Putrajaya for RM9.50. Get down and
buy another ticket from Putrajaya to KLIA for RM6.20. Total cost works
out to RM15.70 instead of RM35.00. The inconvenience is having to wait for the next train for about 15 mins(peak) or 20 mins(non-peak). But the substantial saving of RM19.30 per person may be worthwhile.
- 2. Take the Komuter to Bdr. Tasik Selatan for only RM1.00. From here take the ERL to Putrajaya for RM5.30. Get down and buy another
ERL ticket to KLIA for RM6.20. The total costs add up to only RM12.50 instead of RM35.00. This option is cheaper by RM3.20 but the additional hassle may not be worth the additional saving.
