How to get around in Cyberjaya

Posted in Malaysia Explorer by Oon Yeoh on 2008/07/28 14:15:14

The first time I set eyes on Cyberjaya was in 1997.

It was still being built at that time and when I attended the groundbreaking ceremony, the area didn't even have mobile phone coverage.

Taxis wouldn't go there unless you booked them for the entire time, and they would charge a bomb for transporting you there.

Today, the situation is much better although. There are taxis here and buses, too.

Of particular usefulness is the Park & Ride shuttle service to help you get around Cyberjaya.

How to get around in Cyberjaya
The first time I've been to Cyberjaya was last November 2004, I was amazed that the Malaysia have their own IT technology park that have been put altogether the companies that are involved in IT. Eventhough it was so silent and boring place (maybe because all people there are busy for work) I am happy that I experienced the place. And I wanted to work there also, but I am still waiting for an opportunity from the companies that have their office in Cybejaya.

Getting around Cyberjaya is one thing. Getting to Cyberjaya is another. But, I heard the landowner has put in place a dedicated bus service from few locations within Klang Valley and Seremban to Cyberjaya. One fantastic thing about this is it operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I believe the shuttle service helps to compliment the dedicated service.
