I hope this information to get you to the right bus-stop!!

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

From KL Sentral to LCCT:

---> 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.

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..

National museum
Jalan P. Ramlee - Have many bars and cafes for nightlife outing.

There are two type of ticket for adult.

MYR38 (about $12) for 24 hours
MYR65 (about $21) for 48 hours

Different price for children.

The hours stated above means you can use the ticket for 24/48 hours. No need to buy new ticket every time you get in the bus.

The bus operating from 8am to 10pm.

Just wait at any places that have special signboard that show "KL Hop on Hop off" because you can buy the ticket in the bus.

Hope this will help you.

there are lots of tour buses and tour companies in Kuala Lumpur. they are for hire or Hop On Hop Off variety or Package Tours. If you are on a budget or you want to spend more time on the various tourist sites in and around the Kuala Lumpur area, your best bet wil be the Hop On Hop Off Bus that offers unlimited rides from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and they offer 2 day passes as well since the KL Hop-on Hop-off City Tour is based on the increasingly popular bus tour concept now found in major cities worldwide, with buses running every 15 or 30 minutes from most of the key points of interest around the city. Due to the local climate, though, the glass-roofed vehicles are fully enclosed and air-conditioned. They operate a circular route taking in some 40 attractions. you can have free brochures of the bus tours and hop on bus tours at hotel and malls.

the puduraya bus terminal was the main bus terminal for long range bus drives that go to far areas like penang, johore, singapore, thailand and other cities of Peninsular Malaysia but it was replaced recently by the Bandar Tasik Selatan Bus Terminal. This placed is really brand new and there are not much people inside yet! The Terminal is connected to the present pedestrian bridge that links Rapid KL LRT (Sri Petaling line), KTM Komuter (Rawang-Seremban line) and ERL KLIA Transit together, via a new pedestrian bridge which the entrance is one level higher. The terminal has six floors, 55 bus platforms, 150 taxi bays, 1,000 parking bays (including dedicated bays for women) and 1,800 seats for the public in the fully air-conditioned waiting halls and best of all, there are dining and shopping options inside! we even ate at a KFC in the terminal and this was the terminal we had our 5 hour bus ride to Singapore via Sri Maju Express.

Address of the BTS-IT is Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2, Bandar Tasik Selatan, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Quick note: As of April 15 2011 Bukit Jalil Bus Terminal which served as a temporary bus terminal is officially closed. So dont go there. New and improved Puduraya Bus Terminal in the middle of Kuala Lumpur is back.
