Lost In Transit

Synopsis

Kuala Lumpur chases high-tech “Smart City” ambitions, but the reality is commuters navigate outdated signage and depend on poorly designed apps to even know if their bus will come. Enter a downtown KL-based urbanist, Ernest, a public transport geek who is fed up with waiting for official solutions. He decides to take the initiative to conduct legally grey guerrilla missions to fix failing urban infrastructure by using high-quality stickers and more helpful signage he designed himself.
