I was charged 4 euros for a bus ticket from melaka sentral to tbs kuala lumpur departing at 12AM! THEY CHANGED IT TO 11AM Without informing me & how do they expect i could make it earlier? EXTREMELY DISGUSTING! I WOULD RATE NO STARS AT ALL! I FEEL THIS SERVICE IS PURE SCAM!

I had the 1B seat, which did not exist on the bus, so it was confusing. We arrive 1h late. Apart from that, everything was fine.

The driver stopped a couple times to pickup a friend. He was 45 minutes late arriving in KL. A passenger confronted the driver and the drivers friend about it and they were quite aggressive.

What are the best bars for solo travelers in Kuala Lumpur?

Bar recommendations for solo travelers include PS150, known for its creative cocktails and hidden entrance in Chinatown, and The Berlin KL, which offers a relaxed atmosphere and a mix of locals and travelers. For a lively experience, try TREC Kuala Lumpur, a major nightlife hub with various bars to explore. Pisco Bar on Changkat Bukit Bintang is popular for its social vibe and live music, making it easy to meet people.

Most bars in Kuala Lumpur have reasonable prices, with cocktails typically costing around 40-60 MYR ($8-$13). Public transportation, such as the MRT and monorail, offers convenient access to these areas, with rides costing 1-5 MYR ($0.20-$1), depending on distance. Remember to drink responsibly and consider using ride-sharing services for safe transportation at night.

How can we avoid crowds in Kuala Lumpur?

To avoid crowds in Kuala Lumpur, consider visiting popular attractions during weekdays, as weekends tend to be busier. Arrive early at places like the Petronas Twin Towers or Batu Caves to experience them with fewer people. Exploring less-visited neighborhoods such as Kampung Baru or the art district of Publika can provide a quieter experience. Dining at local eateries during off-peak hours, typically before noon or after 2 PM, helps avoid lunchtime crowds. Utilizing public transport like the MRT or LRT outside rush hours (7-9 AM and 5-7 PM) offers a more comfortable travel experience. Additionally, visiting during the off-peak tourist season, generally from March to May and September to November, can result in smaller crowds across the city.

Is Kuala Lumpur a beautiful place?

Kuala Lumpur is known for its mix of modern and historical attractions. Key sites include the Petronas Twin Towers, offering panoramic city views, and the Batu Caves, a significant Hindu shrine.

For shopping, you can visit Bukit Bintang or Central Market for local crafts. Public transportation is efficient, with options like the MRT, LRT, and monorail. Dining is diverse, featuring local dishes like nasi lemak and roti canai, with meals ranging from 10 to 20 MYR ($2 to $4).

Tap water is generally not recommended for drinking; bottled water is advisable. Cultural customs include modest dressing in religious sites and removing shoes when entering homes or temples. The city is welcoming, and English is widely spoken, making it easy for tourists to navigate.
