"London needs to up its game." That's quite the statement – and it came straight from a visitor after experiencing Kuala Lumpur's MRT.
In a TikTok video shared by creator @the.backsnackers, the review was glowing: air-conditioned trains, affordable fares, and spotless stations left a strong impression. The tourist described the MRT as a comfortable, wallet-friendly way to get around the city – a far cry from the image many have of public transport.
But while praise poured in, the comment section kept things balanced. Locals were quick to highlight areas that could still use improvement, such as the network's limited coverage in certain areas and less frequent trains during off-peak hours.
The conversation quickly turned into a lively exchange about how KL's MRT stacks up against other major cities – and what upgrades would make it even better.
If you could change just one thing about our MRT system, what would it be?
