As the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur is the transport hub of the
country. It is the centre of a comprehensive air, road and rail
network that leads to the rest of Peninsular Malaysia.
As such, city itself is well connected by highways, roads and a
Light Rail Transit network. Getting around within and around the
city is primarily done by car, buses or on the rail transit system.
As for airports, Kuala Lumpur
is served by the main Kuala Lumpur International Airport / KLIA (KUL), KLIA
2 (Budget Airlines Terminal) and the secondary Subang Airport. They connect
the City by air to various domestic destinations throughout the country as
well as international destinations all over the globe.
Kuala Lumpur is also served by Port Klang, the largest and busiest in the
country, located about 64 km (40 mi) southwest of the city.

The city is the centre of a
comprehensive road and highway network that leads to the rest of

this bustling metropolis - just like in most other Asian capitals,
can be difficult. Bus transportation is mediocre. And taxi drivers
are notorious for haggling over fares. But, thankfully, there is a
light railway system that criss-crosses the city, allowing
travellers to keep their trip on track.
