Grab Car, you'll know the fare before hitting "Book".

Just remember not to book/board nor alight at a taxi stand.

Or bus S1 at JB Sentral terminal.
Or just Grabcar.

Why is it not safe to take the cabs?

I never take cabs in JB. just asking only whether it's safe or not.
Safe in general, just not so much on the pocket when they don't use the meter, especially Monday nights during KSL pasar malam.

the Grab app we use in Singapore also works in Malaysia?
Yes, same app wherever Grab is available.

haha..i went twice to Komtar and city square only..
Can venture "out" then, maybe start with KSL by taking the shopping bus from JB Sentral.

Return journey from KSL by the way, wait outside the Coffee Bean exit where there's a Causeway Link (yellow mini bus-shape) stand. Only on Monday pasar malam nights then wait outside the KFC exit.

If want to take cab, ask for fare beforehand. If Grab, do it away from taxi stands.

For me, Levi's exit in City Square, Coffee Bean exit for KSL. Be there when you book as these are no-waiting zones.

Actually I always make sure everyone is ready to leave before going to the spot to book.

Wondering any more reviews on dr specs at ksl? Is it something like eGG in city square? I am staying at holiday villa so i tot easier to get it done over at KSL

Anyone knows if the matang seafood porridge near holiday villa is open on sunday? Or how about the operating hours?

If grab from malaysia custom to ksl, where to wait for the driver will be a better location?

Got a pair of reading glasses from Dr Specs when I first learned about them from here, then about a month back went back to get a progressive pair. No idea about eGG but personally satisfied with Dr Specs service level.

I normally Grab from Komtar JBCC where there's a Grab sign by the driveway.

Have previously tried from JB Sentral (facing City Square) as well as City Square (facing JB Sentral) but just too much traffic around there. However, there may be some Grab drivers already waiting around, so shorter wait than Komtar if so.

A very big mall with nothing much to offer except the sports shop, selling cheap branded shoes.

Hi all ,any idea ksl resort/mall got shuttle service to city sq/ custom ?

Yes. S1 & IM17 buses...RM1.50.
KSL sign on the front & windscreen. At Sentral the buses are located at the end of the bus bay.

I prefer using S1, the route is more direct from Sentral to KSL (have not taken IM17 from KSL before).

Hi, can share how much did you pay for the progressive lens with frame? What lens did they use? Were you be able to collect it within the day? Thanks.
