Get Free MRT Rides in Malaysia

The 1st phase of Malaysia's mass rapid transit (MRT) opened 2 days ago on Friday, 16 December 2016. The public was invited to come test out the MRT with free rides for a month (until 16 January 2017). 

It will only be for the 1st phase though. The 1st phase spans from Sungai Buloh to Semantan. The remaining stretch (Phase 2) is scheduled to be open to public in July 2017, spanning from Semantan to Kajang.

The stations' interiors are clean and spacious, with some companies already grabbing a chance to set up booths to promote their products to passerby.

 At the stations, huge boards showing the entire public transportation network are displayed prominently to visitors.

Still free, so the ticket machines are temporarily disabled...

At the train floor, huge glass panels form the walls, enabling you to see far into the distance.

Clear electronic signboards mark the time when the next train arrives.

The train has arrived!

First thing about the train once you step in is how cold the air is. The air conditioning is working really well!

Some stations have been prepared with huge parking lots. Definitely a huge plus for Malaysians to use the MRT.

 Some of the stations have feeder buses to take you to popular nearby destinations. At the Semantan station, for example, feeder buses take you to 1-Utama.

How to call a Class and ID in CSS

Class applies to a group of elements. To call a class, use a period ".". Example:

• In the file, the code is:

<header class="entry-header">
December 12, 2016
</header>

<aside class="entry-header">
January 1, 2015
</aside>

• In the CSS file, call it like this:

.entry-header
{
display:none;
}

ID applies to only 1 specific element. To call an ID, use a hashtag "#". Example:

• In the file, the code is:

<header id="entry-header">
December 12, 2016
</header>

• In the CSS file, call it like this:

#entry-header
{
display:none;
}
