The train main operators in Malaysia are Myrapid (Kelana Jaya Line, Ampang, Sri Petaling Line, Monorel, MRT) and KTM Komuter( Laluan Seremban and Pelabuhan Klang).

You can also plan your journey provided by Myrapid. It will provide you with the nearest station ( under Myrapid) and bus : Plan My Journey : https://www.myrapid.com.my/plan-my-journey

Besides this website you can also use these apps :

Kuala Lumpur Train Map Application / Subway/ 쿠알라 룸푸르 지하철:

Android : GoKL https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=miniditapps.malaysiatransport

You can use the X to Y function and it will list out the direction

It seems Go Kl is not available in IOS but you can use this Kuala Lumpur app for guidance

IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/id/app/kuala-lumpur-rail-map-lite/id1066751069?mt=8

When you arrive in KLIA / KLIA2 you need to take KLIA Express to City Centre. Our main hub is KL Sentral which allows you to transfer using Kelana Jaya Line, Monorel or Komuter. If you have been to Korea it is equivalent to Arex. We also have the express train 35 minutes ( non stop direct to KL Sentral ) and the transit train.

Tips : KLIA Ekspres Deal and discount

Alternatively, without the pass, you can use "Touch N Go" for all Myrapid + Komuter train or bus.This card function is equal to London's Oyster card, Singapore's Ezlink, S.Korea's T money.

Klia, Klia2 booth location : www.touchngo. It has some discount instead of purchase by cash.

Example Kl Sentral to KLCC : Touch n Go : Rm2.40 , Cash rm2.20

Without "touch n go" you can still buy a token at the machine or counter.

Alternatively, you can also take a bus from KLiA/ KLIA2 which is cheaper ( only RM10 to KL Sentral from KLIA 2).

Tourist special deal : KL Travel Pass ( 2 days unlimited train rides ( inclusive KLIA Express) .

You can use it to ride any line except KTM Komuter. It is useful if your hotel is nearby Bukit Bintang/ Masjid Jamek or any of Myrapid train station. Tourist spot station : KLCC, Dataran Merdeka

If you transit in Kuala Lumpur more than 5 hours you can go and explore KL http://showcasekl.com/ I think this is better than spending time at the airport.

If you are holding GBP or USD it is only GBP20 and USD 24 ( RM100)

Sim Card and Pocket Wifi: Our main telco will be Celcom ( choose this if you are travelling outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor) Maxis/Hotlink ,Digi , Umobile and Tune Talk . Click for traveller package.

Personally, I will choose Digi as it offers 10g for 10 days for only rm38. However, the Digi coverage is limited in rural area.

Alternatively, you can always share a pocket wifi together. ( if travel with partner or group) USD6 daily

Pocket wifi You will need the internet to use Google Maps and website above.

Must visit in Kuala Lumpur:

1. KLCC ( Kelana Jaya Line- KLCC) also known as Petronas Twin Tower.

2. Architecture fan - Mosque

Masjid Jamek ( Ampang Line Masjid Jamek) also walking distance to Dataran Merdeka / Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad. Please do note if you tour inside Mosque you need to follow the dress code / long pants and for female ( cover the hair). Usually, the long dress and scarf are provided by the Mosque.

Masjid Negara ( National Mosque) ( It is between KL Sentral and Pasar Seni)

Maybe the best way is to take a cab ( taxi coupon at KL Sentral) or UBER / Grab . There a few cases of taxi rider who does not use the metre or being taken a long distance ride for a short ride.Therefore it is safe to use the taxi coupon. Use Uber or Grab which comes with navigation and estimated fare before booking. It also comes with free ride for first time user or promotional discount. Maybe you can also take the taxi but informed the rider politely that you will also switch on your Google Maps for the best option.

Putrajaya- well it is closer from Klia than City Centre. You can stop at Putrajaya station via KL transit and take a taxi/ uber / Grab to Dataran Putra / Putra Square.

Take a lake cruise to view Putrajaya cruisetasikputrajaya.com

If you are a Korean drama fan , Putrajaya is one of the shooting location "On the way to the airport / 공항 가는 길" starring Kim Haneul and Lee Sangyoon.

Putra Mosque as background

Masjid Besi / Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin. Drama is produce by KBS .Screencap via http://www.hanisamanina.com

What I remember the most in the drama is how the father said this almost look like home ( Seoul) eg the Han River ( altho it is actually a lake) and the Mosque looks like the National Assembly at Yeuido.

3. Batu Caves- Malaysia is a multiracial country. This is one of Hindu's temple. It also has the highest stair. Oh and believe me Ansel Elgort ( Baby Driver, The fault of our stars) was here!

other location :

Sport or concert related venue :

Bukit Jalil Sports Complek ( Sri Petaling Line- Bukit Jalil)

Concert related venue :

Stadium Merdeka : Monorail Maharajalela or Mrt Medeka station

It is used to be the location of Linkin Park and Big Bang's concert. It is an open stadium.

The best part you can view the KL skyline at night while waiting for the singer. The bad part: it might be raining but usually if that happened,the organizer will provide or sell raincoat at the venue.
