entry charge to mountain genting

https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nat...o-be-charged-to-enter-jalan-genting-highlands

KUALA LUMPUR: Genting Malaysia Bhd will soon charge vehicles entering Jalan Genting Highlands.

The company said they would provide more information once details are ready on the charge to use the private road.

It said the charge is necessary due to the steep and escalating costs of maintaining the 24km-long road and its slopes, which have been borne by the company since the 1960s.

Privately built by Genting Malaysia on difficult, mountainous terrain, Jalan Genting Highlands provides safe access to Resorts World Genting and other mountain destinations beyond Genting Malaysia’s properties.

“Heavy usage on Jalan Genting Highlands has caused a tremendous amount of wear and tear, and requires constant maintenance to ensure the safety of the road users,” said the company in a statement.

On the “user pays” principle, Genting Malaysia said the private road charge is the most sustainable path to defray the cost of upkeep, repairs, maintenance and other unforeseen incidents.

This is to ensure the road continues to be safe for all users and also to provide access to the entire Genting Highlands community, businesses, millions of tourists and the public from all over the country, it added.

Hi all for bus ride, how long does it take to reach genting? lets say I leave at 6am. Thanks.

If it's during non-peak period, you will likely reach First World Bus Terminal around 12.30pm +/-15mins. If it's Super-Peak (Public/School Holiday Weekend), it's anybody's guess. Probably + another 2 to 5 hours.

The longest jam, thru experienced by those private taxi, at the causeway was between 10 to 12 hours. Take a plane, and thereafter by Bus/Taxi/Grab, if you are going to RWGenting during the school holidays. Just a suggestion. Cheers.

Didn't see those golden dress croupiers at the Gold Club and common areas during my recent trip. Not sure about Crockfords Platinum and private rooms though.

Some observations during my recent trip to RWG:

(1) Face recognition at the "Self Check-In Kiosks" is a breeze.

(2) We must tap our hotel card in the lift to access to our level. No challenges too.

(3) There are 35 and 0 "Self Check in Kiosks" at Tower 1 and Tower 3 respectively. Most, if not all, are already operational at 7am.

(4) The are 13 "Self Check-out Kiosks in FWH:

Tower 3 - 2
Tower 2 - 2
Between Tower 2 & 1 - 3
Tower 1 - 6

(5) There are 5 "Self Service Ticketing Machines" at the SkyAvenue Complex (level 4) Cable Station.

(6) Nonya Color had already closed shop.

(7) Beside 1st World Hotel lobby, Zus Coffee at SkyAvenue Complex level 2 and Swee Hug at FWH Tower 3 are good resting area, before they open for businesses.

(8) Have not been seeing the Sky symphony display — those little dancing colourful balls outside SkyCasino — for a long while now.

(9) Medan Selera, at the Basement of SkyAvenue Complex, had been renamed as Jom Makan

(10) All Buses counters (707Inc, Transtar, WTS Travel, Sri Maju, and Five Stars) have been consolidated at the FHW Bus Terminal.

(11) Taxi fare from FWH to GPO is between RM$52 to 55, one way.

(12) SkyCasino is no longer congested with PRC personnel loitering at the ground floor like before. We no longer see or being approached to change money, nor beg for makan anymore. However, a lady, and then taken over by an uncle later, was still selling Hotel Room, near the SkyCasino escalator area.

(13) Our usual route from FWH Level 4 to Gold Club/Crockfords Platinum had been blocked, to make way for the Snow World. Even lifts are bypassing level 4, with no selection on the lift panel anymore.

(14) Durian Carnival has been extended to end January next year. However, "Dking" (one of the durian stalls) mentioned that durian season will most probably end around late December. Rate is quite good: 2 MSWs for RM$99.

(15) The toys in those Blind Box Gacha Machines, located at SkyAvenue Complex level 3, cost 4 tokens each. Ironically, RM$20 can only get you 3 tokens from the vending machine.

(16) Bu Bu Gao and Blue Blitz slot machines had been removed from SkyCasino level 1.

(17) Wolfgang had already been closed down after the previous renovation. However, Park Avenue still continue to serve western dinner like Appetizers, Soups, Prime Grills, Sides, Sauces, Butters, and Desserts.

(18) Trattoria Il Lago, which was temporarily closed, after the fire outbreak at the outdoor theme park, has re-opened.

(19) The Turkish Delights stall, located outside C Chuan Village, has closed down too. The smaller stall, at level one, outside Sakura, is still there.

(20) The viewing area, outside Beauty at the Pot, is open to the public again.

Once I was approached by a PRC outside the Skycasino asking me for money. She said she and her friends had lost all money and had no money to buy food. She was young and pretty and totally my type. She also touched my arm while asking for money. At that time I had won quite a lot of money so I gave her RM400. And she asked for more saying RM400 not enough for 3 of them. Then I walked away from her.

Since the covid re-opening travel, I had been going Genting every month till now.
Always coach bus from WTS or Transtar, occasionally 707 (last minute travel),
5am till 1130am, its bearable, sleep on the bus (avoid last row, sleep almost impossible due to bad suspension, every road bumps, u will lift up 3-4cm from your seat).

Travelled every months for the past 3 years, u got used to the process, u would sleep like a baby.
Transtar Club Z and better, Solitaire quite comfy with massage chairs.

Each time you go is how days and nights? I can only go 2D1N due to my work life and I think due to the short duration makes the return bus journey quite unbearable.

I took from Choa Chu Kang taking WTS. Bus took off at 5:45am and reach Genting bus station at 11:45am. This is my breakdown of time: From CCK to Yong Peng rest stop is 1h45min (including stopping at immigration checkpoints). Then rest for 30min. From Yong Peng to toilet break stop is 2h15min. Break for less than 10min. From toilet break point to Genting is 1h20min.

Actually it is fair since they have to maintain the road. There are probably more developments now that are not under Genting. And locals go up there to enjoy the weather but might not spend.

When I was at Chin Swee Temple, I wanted to sit down and have a drink. The cafe next to the temple "hotel" reception has seats outside where I can sit and enjoy the wind and mountain view. Only have 3 round table. But 2 property agents sat on 1 table each with their laptop and was talking across the tables to each other. Don't see any drinks or food on their table. The 3rd table she put her handbag on the chair. I told them I wanted to sit there. The lady say ok. Then I went to order. Came back and she had moved the chair with her handbag to her table leaving only one chair for my table.

While I was there they keep talking to each other loudly and call clients to ask if they interested to view properties in KL. Really spoil the ambience.

Free road, free parking, free to sit around in nice weather with nice view.
