I went to Senghuat. Heard it was meant to be one of the better ones?



Let at 750 so was not worried about miss my flight. But then, I got worried as the driver went to some random gas station to refill his gas! I told him about my flight and he said "no problem i have shortcut". I told him to take the expressway and he said it "will take longer because of jam". So what am I going to do? Kick him out the car?

FWIW I paid a fixed price of RM90 to get to KLIA (from Klang). He didn't want to run the meter and I didn't bother arguing with him because RM90 seemed the right price as it was what I paid from the airport.

I would have taken Grab/Uber, but for my phone battery that died at the most inconvenient time.



Still, I glad I went! Beats sitting around the airport for 3.5hours! Think my risk tolerance is quite high.
Uber and Grab both are available to and from the airport and only charge about RM75 to Klang and offers way better cars and drivers.
