Comparative study of blind and heuristic searching techniques are investigated for Kuala Lumpur mass rapid system. High volume of traffics and people made the mass rapid system such as Light Rail Transit (LRT), a likely candidate to use in daily life. However, since there are quite a number of transportation modes available, making choices may not be easy. The best travelling direction in terms of the least number of nodes traversed need to be ascertained before starting the journey. This research analyze the efficacy of blind search strategies namely breadth of search and depth of search to discover the best route to travel. The best route is defined as the shortest path that one should travel to reach his destination.
