So near yet so far for MRT


I LIVE in Persiaran Burhanuddin Helmi, Taman Tun Dr Ismail and I am currently pursuing my postgraduate studies in Universiti Malaya (UM).

It is sad to say that despite having the MRT station quite near to both UM and my house, I am unable to use it on a regular basis because driving is still the better option.
