Malaysia — Transport & Getting Around

Kuala Lumpur's LRT, MRT and Monorail are cheap and clean (MYR 1.20–5.00 per ride); a Touch 'n Go card covers all lines. Grab is dominant for taxis and rides; metered street cabs (Teksi 1Malaysia) exist but overcharging is common. KLIA Ekspres runs KLIA/KLIA2 to KL Sentral in 33 minutes for MYR 55; Grab from the airport is usually MYR 70–110 depending on traffic.

Domestic flights on AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines, Batik Air and Firefly link KL to Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching cheaply. ETS intercity trains (KTM) serve the west coast; long-distance coaches from TBS terminal are the budget option.
