Passengers walk in to coach at Sungai Buloh Station during the phase One of the Sg Buloh-Kajang (SBK) MRT Line first day operation. AZMAN GHANI / The Star

THE MRT just started operations and I wasted no time in finding out what the excitement was all about.

What a pleasant surprise I had when I boarded the train. For one thing it was very spacious. Then it dawned on me why it is called “MASS rapid transit”, as opposed to “LIGHT rail transit”, which we have been so used to.
