Navigation Board in Putrajaya Sentral

PIC 1

PIC 2

PIC 3

This is a navigation board of Putrajaya Sentral. It is a bus terminal, usually you can see a lot of travelers, international students and workers in Putrajaya Sentral. You can take bus, taxi, or KLIA Transit from Putrajaya Sentral to the place that you want. Other that, there also have some shops there, for people to pass the time when they are waiting for their bus or KLIA Transit.

As we can see, all the navigation broads in Putrajaya Sentral are using Malay and English language and icons of the place to guide people go to the place they want, example like the counter of KLIA transit, shops, information counter and so on. By using 2 types of languages, so that the travelers from other country can easily understand where they should go and would not get lose in Putrajaya Sentral. Even though some people cannot understand both languages they also can follow the icon of the place they want.

According to the PIC 1, that is a navigation board at Putrajaya Sentral G floor. We have to turn left to reach the KLIA Transit counter , taxi counter, toilets, information counter, shops, front door, park and ride but if you familiar with the Putrajaya Sentral you can use the escalators that you can see in the picture to reach this few place. That is faster way for people to go to the KLIA Transit counter, toilets, shops, and information counter. That is a weakness for this navigation board, because we have to sake for the travelers and the students they were back from their home town. They have to bring a lot of baggage so it is not suitable for them to detour. 

Now let us see the navigation board in first floor of Putrajaya Sentral, distance of the navigation board A that we see in PIC 2 is quite near with the next navigation board, Navigation board B, so that people will not fidget about where they are and they also can get to their place faster. If you go straight on u will see the navigation board B (PIC 3) and you can already saw some shops and KLIA Transit counter and information counter are round there.
