Cultural Performances, Public Transportation, Social Media, Flash MobAbstract
Public performances revolving around public transportation continue to be a common sight in transit areas such as London's Tube and the New York subway. Malaysia is even taking a step further by allowing various performing art events to take place at stations and in transit. This exploration is carried out to investigate the possibilities of utilising public transportation services to benefit performing artists in Kuala Lumpur. This research argues that this symbiotic co-existence between transit areas and serving arts practitioners, with the case study of the Kertapi Sarong activity, would foster vibrant arts lifestyle community whereby these efforts will continue to enrich public transport commute experiences.
