BY BUS There are regular city buses and minibuses to take you around the city. The fare is 20 sen for the first kilometer and 5 sen for each additional kilo-nut. Know, however, that the buses in Kuala Lumpur are not dependable. You and wait at a stop for a long time only to find when the bus arrives that it's hot and packed so full that passengers seem to be hanging out every window. It's not the most relaxing way to get around.

BY RAIL KL has a network of mass transit trains that snake through the city and out to the suburbs, and it'll be worth your time to become familiar with Ii, no, since taxis are sometimes unreliable and traffic jams can be unbearable. unrelieble is, there are five train routes and each one is operated by a different company. How confusing! The lines don't seem to connect in any logical way. The four lines that are most useful to visitors are the Putra LRT, the Star LRT, the KL Monorail and the ERL Express Rail Link to the airport. The larr route is explained under "Getting into Town from the Airport," earlier in this singapore & malaysia websection.

As a rough guide all lines operate between 5 or 6am till around midnight, with trains coming every 10 minutes or so. Tickets can be purchased at any station either from the stationmaster or from single-fare electronic ticket booths. On FOOT The heat and humidity can make walking between attractions pretry uncomfortable. However, sometimes the traffic is so unbearable that you'll get where you're going much faster by strapping on your tennis shoes and hiking it.
