Description
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia-Best Visitor Guide To The KL Monorail/LRT/MRT/Batu Caves I've put together a basic simple guide to what most visitors need to know to get around on KL's LRT/Monorail and trains. At first glance the lines can look a little on the complicated side but provided you're staying in a typical tourist center, like KL Sentral, Bukit Bintang, or around KLCC this guide should provide you with all you need to know. The KL Monorail, Kelana Jaya line, the newer SBK Line, and the Komuter train that takes you to the Batu Caves will get you to most popular landmarks and sites around the city. It's also helpful to be familiar with KL Sentral as this is the major hub for transportation which includes buses to and from both airport terminals, the KLIA Express train to both terminals and other trains. By the way there are shower facilities available for a nominal fee at KL Sentral. They were really handy one time when I had an 8 hour layover coming from Nepal while waiting for my flight to Taipei. A nice quick refreshing shower made my day while visiting KLCC just before Christmas. Even though in the video it looks like I only use tokens, this was only for demonstration purposes. I recommend if you're staying longer than a short layover to get a KL Touch 'n Go card. They are super convenient and you will feel it was well worth the nominal 5 Ringit purchase when you see the line-ups at the token machines during rush hour. Here's more on the Touch 'n Go card:https://www.touchngo.com.my/CMS/Personal/Products/Touch-n-Go-Card/About-Touch-n-Go-Card/As English is an official language of Malaysia you will find instructions and signs in English everywhere! Hope you enjoy the video and it helps you have a smooth stay in one of my favorite cities of Southeast Asia!
