Changes: #1 Mode of transport

There are some changes in my life. As mentioned in my previous post, I've already changed my main mode of transportation.

The power to be decided that some hikes (no I'm not referring to hike-up-the-mountain kind of hike) are long over due. Not only the KTM commuter fare, but also the parking fees, and highway tol - all at the same time. Then there were also reduction of subsidies to the petrol. 

The petrol price now fluctuates every week, according to only God-knows-what. Officially, it was according to market price. But I don't know which market because some times when the world price was down, the local price still went up.

All in all, it was nolonger cost effective for me to continue commuting on the KTM commuter nor the bus. The thought of changing job did occur to me. But while looking for new job, I still had to commute. Then my brothers planted the idea of motorbiking to work.

I never would have thought that I would do a daily long distance commute on a motorbike. If it hadn't because of the hikes, I would still be commuting using the public transport and occassionally by car. So, one thing led to another. 

Now, more than 56,000 km and almost two years later, I'm still on my bike. Not only commuting, but enjoying occasional solo rides.
