Bus Terminals

Travellers:

North bound travellers - The main bus terminal in Kuala Lumpur, Puduraya Bus Terminal has reopened and bus companies have resumed operations to/from this terminal.

South Bound travellers - Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) in Bandar Tasik Selatan was opened in January 2011 to facilitate those going southbound to Johor and Singapore. Getting There: Take the LRT (Light Rail Transit) on the Ampang Line bound for Bandar Tasik Selatan LRT Stop.
It was built to relieve the commuters loading from Pudu Sentral.

There are several main bus terminals:

1. Pudu Sentral Bus Terminal
Also called: Puduraya.
This is the main Bus Station in Kuala Lumpur.
Most coaches are arriving at Puduraya and they are leaving 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 midnight.

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

3. Touts! always touts!

2.
Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS)
This bus terminal is mainly catering south and south-east of Malaysia - Melaka, Johor Bahru and Singapore.
When you travel by bus from Kuala Lumpur south bound to Melaka, Johor Bahru or Singapore. Then you have to go Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS), the state of the art airport like bus hub located at Bandar Tasik Selatan, Kuala Lumpur.
TBS is located 10 km away from the City Centre. Three different train services stop at Bandar Tasik Selatan: an LRT (subway) line, a KTM (commuter) line and the KLIA Transit (airport link).
There's a clear signage to and from the bus terminal. The main hall of the bus terminal is light, airy and sparklingly clean.
Massive electronic boards list all arrivals and departures, mostly southern and south-eastern destinations. The information staff is very helpful. There's a centralised ticketing system, that brings together many of the bus operators. There's also a zero tolerance policy towards touts.
