Beside using the bus or taxi, another public transport you can use in Kuala Lumpur is KL Monorail. The monorail goes to the popular places like Bukit Bintang and the fare is really cheap.
This is the convenient way to travel by public transport as you don’t need to wait or get stuck in the boring traffic jam when you use the bus or taxi.
One of the interesting facts about Kuala Lumpur monorail is it began it operations on August 31st 2003 and the date was the Malaysia National Day.
The total distant of the rail is scarcely 9 km and it also takes you to KL Sentral. However you still need to walk a bit to KL Sentral Station and this station is the hub where you can easily go to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) or you can board the train run by KTM.

Trains in Malaysia are operated and managed by KTMB or Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad. From Kuala Lumpur you can go directly to Johor Bahru or Singapore in the South and the northern places like Ipoh, Butterworth and Alor Setar.
You can also board the train to go the to Pahang and Kelantan. The trains do not go to Terengganu. Because of the convenient using the road or highway, most people use their own vehicles or express buses to go to any destination in Malaysia.
However the trains are still exist to serve the needs of the people. The last time I used the train was around 6 years ago from Johor Bahru to Kuala Lipis in Pahang which costed me somewhere around RM30 and this was cheap to me because it was hard ( or not available ) to find an express bus to this destination directly form Johor Bahru. From Kuala Lipis I can get the bus to my hometown in Raub that is just 40 km away.
In Kuala Lumpur the easiest way to get the train probably at KL Sentral Station and this station is not a regular one because here you can get the LRT, Monorail, KTM Commuter, Express Rail Link ( to Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang, Selangor) and definitely the long distance KTMB train to various destinations in Malaysia.
I don’t know exactly where to find all the KTMB authorized agents but recently I came across the KTMB e-Ticket Counter at Giant Supermarket, Taman Permata which is located in Ampang district, Kuala Lumpur and here you can buy the train tickets to any destinations in Malaysia without any additional charges.
