  I've taken a train before in Taiwan. Trains feel just like the MRT, just the seating is a bit different. Think it's more expensive to train to KL than bus there but it's an experience lor .But if you're on a tight budget, don't expect amazing things to happen on your trip with the cheapest train ticket.

  taiwan's high-speed rail should start pretty soon, and TRA trains will soon be history.
  
  so when is malaysia's turn?
