Bus Terminals

There are 4 bus terminals:

1. Puduraya Bus Terminal
Main Bus Station in Kuala Lumpur
The coaches arriving and leaving from and to all parts of Malaysia.

The Bus Terminal is situated : Jalan Pudu.
It's on walking distance from KL Chinatown. You can't miss it - if you do, the touts will surely find you anyway.

Nearest LRT Station: Pudu Station on Star LRT line. Check this website for Star LRT map routing: Star LRT

Remarks:

1. Taxis picking up customers, often charge an exhorbitant sum - sometimes refusing to run the taxi meter but instead negotiate on rates. The taxi rate hits sky high after midnite.

2. There has been many cases of snatch thieves, targetting foreigners in particular. Be careful especially when waiting for night coaches.

3. Touts! always touts!

2.
Putra Bus Terminal
