Kuala Lumpur Transportation Tips by l_joo

Getting TO/AROUND: Motorcycling is so far the best to explore the city meantime needless to pay road tolls also, needless to enjoy the heavy traffic jams. If you can ride a motorcycle, you can enjoy most of the unseen places of the city. The problem is to rent a motorcycle is not easy, you have to ask the motor shop yourself and arrange with them or you rent a small scooter from your hotel attendants, since you stay with them, they can trust you, probably you can pay them RM50 a day.

Extra tips: If you like street racing, every Saturday night in front of The Mall and midnight in front of Merdeka Square, you can enjoy watching our local boys performing illegal street racings. It's not something like World 500cc but more to local village racing. Most of them are youngsters dressing up like Arnold Schwazeneeger with black leather jacket but riding a 150cc bike with funny riding skills, but hey it's our local bike culture. They have their dream to become world champ. That's only if you like motorcycles, I don't force you to ride motorcycles.

Important: Please remember to lock your bike or car.

Getting TO/AROUND: Teksi or Taxi. Taxi is another good transportation in Kuala Lumpur. They charge according to meter around RM6 to RM10 in within 10km drives.

Taxi drivers like to tell dirty stories to tourists, so just enjoy. Once I came across a taxi driver who can really tell dirty jokes over and over, I just couldn't stop laughing.

Taxi drivers very patriotic too, why? because they only drive local Malaysian made Proton cars.

Getting TO/AROUND: Private cars are good though you have to pay endless tolls. Excuse me, I certainly understand each driver should help to pay highway maintenance but sometimes we hate to queue that long just to pay a Ringgit.

Getting TO/AROUND: Passengers must get ready coins before you get onto these buses. Normal rates around RM1 to take you anywhere in within the city. Very convenience, most buses are equipped with air-con. If you don't know what numbers of buses, you can simply look for a bus driver and you ask he/she which bus to take to which destination, they should be able to help tourists. If you don't want to ask, you still can look for the bus route map at where the bus stops. For further details of roads coverage, try the website below.
