KL
Transport:
Buses are an inexpensive way to travel in Malaysia. Most, if not all buses in Kuala Lumpur (KL) are air-conditioned but there are still non-air-conditioned buses in smaller towns around the country. Buses plying routes within towns and cities typically charge fares according to the distance covered while interstate buses have fixed rates.
Rail:
Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) has an impressive railway network across Malaysia - one that travels the breadth and width of the Peninsula, providing the country with regular passenger services. These tracks take travellers across the Peninsula to neighbouring countries like Thailand in the north and Singapore in the south. There's also the KTM Komuter, a suburban railway service that runs outside Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya. This fully air-conditioned service provides visitors with comfortable and speedy inter-city travel within the country.
STAR (Light Rail Transit System) If you don't fancy driving within KL, try the efficient, comfortable and congestion-free STAR and Putra Light Rail Transit (LRT) services that make getting around KL a breeze. Transits between the KTMB train, Komuter and LRTs can be done at KL Sentral, Malaysia's primary rail transportation hub. Furthermore, there is the KLIA Ekspres, a nonstop service from KLIA to KL Sentral in about 30 minutes!
Getting There:
Malaysia's primary gateway is the state-of-the-art Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). It is located in Sepang, which is about 50km (less than an hour's drive via highway) south of Kuala Lumpur.
Visitors can take flights from KLIA to all major cities and towns in the Peninsula as well as Sabah and Sarawak. Domestic airlines like Air Asia, Pelangi Air, Berjaya Air and Mofaz Air ply popular holiday routes such as KL-Pulau Tioman, KL-Pulau Langkawi and so on. However, the country's very own international carrier is Malaysia Airlines (which flies to over 100 destinations across six continents.
