VISITING MALAYSIA

Go by train
Traveling from one place to another can be difficult in Kuala Lumpur due to crowded traffic in this country. One way to avoid traffic jams is to use a light rail system supporting the city. Kuala Lumpur has a 4-lane metro system - KL monorail - connects a number of key districts, including banks, offices, hotels and shopping malls; STAR runs 27 km from north to south and another runs to the east while PUTRA connects the northeastern city to the west.

KTM (Keretapi Tanah Melayu - Malay Railway System) connects major cities in the Malay Peninsula and destinations in Thailand and Singapore. The express train north of Langkawi departs every night from Kuala Lumpur to Arau in Kedah. Arriving in the morning, the train will then continue to Hat Yai in Thailand - a perfect travel option for students who enjoy a relaxing weekend shopping. By road
Buses are relatively cheap in Malay. Buses run on routes and fares are calculated by distance. The bus run is relatively erratic and often not on schedule. However, the Putra bus is more reliable. Taxis in big cities usually charge according to the meter. Rates for the first 2 km are 2 ringgit (RM) and 10 cents for every 200m next. For those who want to explore other parts of Malayan on short weekends, long distance bus travel is an easy option. Ticket prices start at 35 ringgit (RM), so it's easy and affordable for students to go to other states to taste local food or to visit the city. By air
More than 40 airlines fly to Malaysia. All flights depart and arrive at the modern Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), located in Sepang, 50 km (50 miles) south of Kuala Lumpur, or an hour's drive south. From KLIA, it is possible to fly to most major cities and towns. Students can choose the airline they like or even the cheapest budget airline - AirAsia and Firefly. If booked in advance, these cheap airlines can be really cheap. By sea
There are several seaports in Malaysia, namely Penang, Port Klang, Kuantan, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. There is a coastal ferry service from Penang to Butterworth, carrying both passengers and vehicles from the mainland to the island. Besides, there are many ferries from the mainland to the island and from the island to the mainland across the country. Speedboats and small boats on the river are a popular way to travel in Sabah and Sarawak, especially to more remote locations. There are also visits to the sea and the river by local travel agents. There are domestic maritime transport services from Klang Port (Selangor) to Kuantan (Pahang) and to Sabah or Sarawak. There are also trips during the holiday season bringing passengers to neighboring countries.
