Please may I have a quiet and uneventful walk back to my car. A walk to the car park should not be an adult version of tumble tots with impediments being laid as though to add some adventure to your otherwise mundane stroll.

As most of us are now parked across the Pos Malaysia building I am quite sure many will be able to relate to what I am writing here i.e the thoughtlessness in the design of the pedestrian flow to and from the car park.

A pedestrian's movement (particularly those with luggage) will be impeded by hazards such as chains, open drains, lack of safe crossings and as of this week a boom tube that made a sudden appearance spanning across the only pedestrian passageway. Oh and of course the stench that greets you when the rubbish truck comes around.

Personally I have no issue with the extra walking distance or the exposure to the occasional rain showers but what riles me up is the inability of the planners to design a half decent passage free of hazards to pedestrians.

Let's visualize a typical stroll to the car park:

1) When you walk from the LCCT, the existing walkway will lead you to the back of the Food Garden where you will walk within metres of the rubbish dump. If you're lucky, you get to say hello to Malique the friendly dustman (read more...)

The decision of the LCCT parking management to relocate staff parking to the car park in front of Pos Malaysia (Zone B) comes into effect 1st August. To offset the pain of having to walk 15mins (20min tops) from Zone B to the terminal, they reduced the monthly charges that we normally pay.

Frankly, I'd rather pay more to park nearer. It's nothing to do with the distance but rather more to do with the fact that we're walking 15mins under the morning sun. Being sweaty and smelling funny is not my idea of a good start at work. I shudder at the thought of the days when the heavens decide to open up and rain cats & dogs. On hindsight, car park Zone A is only relatively better since it's still an open air car park albeit a little closer to the terminal.

Of course, there's the free shuttle service provided. FYI, these are the stops: Zone B car park - Maybank - LCCT. At each stop, the bus will wait for 15mins. So if you board the bus at Zone B, be sure to have at least a minimum 15mins spare, depending on at what point you board the bus.

If you board the bus as soon as it stops in front of Zone B, then chances are you'll be in the bus 30mins. You decide whether you'll walk or take the bus. For me, I think its time to consider buying a kick scooter to lessen the effort.
