Those travelling via bus, for instance, may only disembark at Terminal Bersepadu Selatan, 15km from KL city centre.<\/span><\/p>\n Malaysian Leon Lee told me he had taken the ETS \u201cmany times\u201d before Friday, stopping at the different cities along its route.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve even taken the train to Padang Besar near the Thai border. It\u2019s comfortable and relaxing, and I don\u2019t take flights anymore (for domestic travel),\u201d said the 53-year-old, who boarded Friday\u2019s train in Kluang in central Johor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Still, not everyone feels the ETS is the most practical choice.<\/span><\/p>\n My colleague, visual journalist Zamzahuri Abas, acknowledged the ETS was a solid option but would still prefer to drive from JB to his hometown in Tapah, Perak.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDriving allows me to travel point to point, and since my family travels with a lot of luggage, it\u2019s just easier to utilise the car,\u201d said Zamzahuri, who has three children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This means the ETS has its work cut out trying to attract more passengers and to keep them coming back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
