The Transport infrastructure in Kuala Lumpur is arguably one of
the most modern, complete and convenient in the region. Getting
about in the city is as easy as hailing a cab or as quick, pleasant
walk to the nearest train station. The Express Rail Link (ERL) takes
you from the KL International Airport into the inner city in a mere
28 minutes. Once there, the KL Monorial and STAR Light Rail Transit
connect you to places of interest in minutes through underground
or above. Ample feeder bus services take you right to the doorstep
of where your wish to go. In Kuala Lumpur, if you have to travel
to keep an appointment, you're most likely to keep it. Unless of
course, you wish to take a detour along the way, to catch something
that tickles your fancy.
