    When I first wrote this tip the monorail in KL was about to open on the 31st August. I had just seen a train go by the window of the internet cafe I was then sitting in (Sun 24th August).

    The word 'mass' as in transit does not really come to mind as the two-car trains can't hold that many people.

    On the other hand it will provide a very useful link from the Sentral (correct spelling!) Station to the Bingtang / golden triangle hotel area.

    It is a pity they could not site the station at Sentral station a bit closer - it will mean a short walk through the car park to get the service.

  • I am not too sure about this line - it was greatly maligned by the press as an obstentatious project and certainly went through birthing pains before it was launched in 2003. More modern and comfortable than the LRT, I find that the stations do not really offer much to visitors as they are located in weird and slightly skewed locations...which means that you still have to walk quite some distance to get to the place you want to go. Also, connecting the LRT from the Monorail isn't as easy as it looks on the charts, as it usually involves quite a bit of walking.

    Monorail: Taxi is not a must

  • It was really easy to go around KL..just ask around how to go & the streets to remember & you'll easily get there....thanks to their efficient monorail & LRTs.....there's always a connecting mode of transport wherever you get off whether a bus or a train type is available....not much long walks...Even if you're a 1st timer your pockets won't hurt coz of Taxi fare

    Monorail: How to get to Jalan Petaling/Chinatown
  • By oerkenbo on June 14, 2008
  • Kuala Lumpur Page by oerkenbo
  • It's not that difficult to get to Chinatown/Jalan Petaling. Get off at either Maharajalela (if using the monorail) or Pasar Seni, and you'll just be a 5-min walk away.

    Mass transport planning is Malaysia is mystifying. Why one of the newest urban mass transport networks in the world was designed so that the stops on different line didn't connect -- go figure.

    Plus, it was a bit surprising that the Monorial cars -- only completed in the last 10 years -- is showing a lot of signs of wear and tear.

    Monorail: Convinient way of getting around KL

  • Guidebooks say KL is no city for pedestrians.......I cant agree to that since walking around KL was quite easy, ok, I got lost once in a while, but i no other way do you get to know a city better than by walking. From Bukit Bintang to the Petronas Towers and so on...you can check out every place along the way.

    Ok, this is about the Monorail, a very convinient way to get around, from Sentral to Bukit Bintang for example and everywhere along that way.

  • The prices are cheap, depending on which station you're from and where you want to go. There aren't any schedules, if you miss a monorail train that just went by, in about 5 minutes there would be another one that would come along. It's pretty convenient since you avoid the traffic if ever you travel during rush hour.
