MIRI down town

Like most malaysian towns, Miri also uses a grid iron urban structure. This kind of urban structure is less friendly to public transits. As such in this part of the city you hardly find a bus transit service. The common form of public transport taxis and car rentals. As such moving around the city for a visitor like me is expensive and difficult. To make Malaysian towns tourist attractive a good public transport is important.

MIRI

A good example of inland waterways in Miri, Sarawak. The boats are ferrying commuters from Miri and Murudi. The bridge you see on the background is the Asean Bridge which connects to the Brunei Immigration and Customs check points. Before the bridge was constructed commuters have to us ferry to reach the check point. I was there for a family trip. In fact on the following day I cross over using a SUV to go to Bandar Seri Begawan.
