Buses & Coaches, Kuala Lumpur

If you arrive by plane to the low cost terminal (LCCT) in Kuala Lumpur then you have very cheap busses going in to town for just 8-9 Ringgitt for a one way fare.
To find the busses just take a left turn when you exit the airport and walk up to the end and then you will see a whole line of busses that genrally cost 8-9 Ringgitt for a ticket.
There is no need to reservet hese tickets in advance as they just fill up the first bus in the line and as soon as it's full it will leave and another one will pull up for the new passengers.
It's a very cheap and effective way of getting in to the city and these busses stop at KL Sentral where it's easy to find transport to other parts of the city.

From KL it's easy to find a bus to Singapore, it takes about 5 hours and provides a smooth journey across the bridge and to the border. At the border it gets a little confusing, some buses will dump you here, others take you further.

This is how I usually travel in/out to LCCT.

From KL Sentral to LCCT:

---> KLIA Transit: Buy the ticket KL Sentral at KLIA Express Ticket Counter. You pay RM12.50, you will be given one train ticket plus one coach ticket. You will ride the KLIA transit train from KL Sentral to Salak Tinggi Station. When you exit the Salak Tinggi Station, you will see the coach waiting for you to continue your journey to LCCT.

---> The whole journey takes between 50 minutes to 1 hour.

---> Alternative Skybus: If you choose the skybus, sometimes the bus is full you have to wait another 30 minutes for another bus to leave. Driver and staffs are not friendly, and lie to you about the schedule. Especially if you are in the rush to the airport, you could turn out to miss your flight. They are not responsible for the delay. Unless you have plenty of time, then it is okay to take the skybus, RM9.

From LCCT to KL Sentral:

---> I usually take skybus RM9 from LCCT to KL Sentral.

It is a comfortable air-conditioning bus ride to see downtown KL. I highly recommend it especially during non-rushing hours, 10:30am - 4pm.

You can only ride the bus at designated bus-stops " GOKL City Bus".

Taking the hus to and from Kuala Lumpur is very easu these days after the new Pudu Sentral station has opened after a long renovation.
The bus station was formerly known as Puduraya, but is now just called "Pudu Sentral".
The station is located right in between Bukit Bintang and Chinatown, which is the two parts of town where most people travel from and that makes it very easy for the traveller.
There are lot's of companies travelling from the bus station and lot's of counters where you can buy tickets to pretty much all of the malaysian peninsula aswell as Singapore and Thailand.
Just be ware of the touts, especially at night.
These guys are mostly not of the honest kind and many of them sell fake tickets, aso just ignore them and go to the ticket window yourself.
Most malaysian long distance busses these days are very comfortable and the seats are comparable to what you see on business class on airplanes, so bus travel is fine in Malaysia.

I STRONGLY NOT RECOMMEND to take Five Star coaches(should be No Star coaches...!!!!). Driver bus are very rude, racist and not helpful.. Lovely memories at singapore change to a nightmare when the driver ask us to get off from the bus at One Utama, Petaling Jaya at 3am in the morning! Eventhough our tickets show our arrival destination is at Pudu, Kuala Lumpur. After about 15minutes arguing with the bus driver, he can just simply ask us to take taxi to KL.. Stupid! Where can get taxi at that time??!!! Luckily we didnt get robbed.. And some more, dont trust on their nice coaches pictures coz it is not as what you imagine when you get into the coach. Plz inform others..
