By bus
Pretty much every single bus you see in town goes into the Golden Triangle area.
By train
You may get some strange looks if you asked someone how to get to the Golden Triangle by train. That's because there are no heavy-rail trains running to the district, but once you say "monorail" or "LRT" light rail transit, people will become more helpful.
The best ways to reach the Golden Triangle are by monorail and light rail transit, depending on which part of the district you want to get to. Monorail is best for the Bukit Bintang area and environs including Jalan Imbi, Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Raja Chulan while the LRT is the perfect way to get to the KLCC and Jalan Ampang areas.
The main monorail stations and the adjacent shopping centres and important landmarks in the Golden Triangle are Imbi Berjaya Times Square, Bukit Bintang Sungei Wang Plaza, Bukit Bintang Plaza, Lot 10, Star Hill Gallery, KL Plaza, Pavillion, Raja Chulan offices along Jalan Raja Chulan and Jalan Sultan Ismail and Bukit Nanas Concorde Hotel, Rennaissance Hotel and Good World Hotel. Bukit Nanas station is also a short walk to the Dang Wangi LRT station.
The main LRT stations serving the district are Dang Wangi for the area around the Jalan Ampang-Jalan Sultan Ismail intersection, KLCC KLCC, Petronas Twin Towers, Avenue K and Ampang Park for Ampang Park shopping centre and Nikko Hotel.
By road
The main roads in the district are Jalan Bukit Bintang, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Jalan Ampang, Jalan Imbi, Jalan Raja Chulan. All these roads suffer from acute congestion, especially during peak hours.
If you are coming from outside KL and want to head directly here, there are a few roads which you can take.
From the South if coming from the North-South Expressway, you can enter the Smart Tunnel at Sungai Besi and exit at the Jalan Sultan Ismail exit, which brings you smack in the middle of Bukit Bintang. The Tun Razak exit will bring you onto Jalan Tun Razak where you can then proceed directly into KLCC after the Singapore High Commission. Jalan Tun Razak also intersects with Jalan Ampang.
From the North, after exiting the North South Expressway's Jalan Duta exit, proceed along Jalan Duta towards the South end or "Seremban direction" of this road and then Jalan Istana, and then Jalan Dewan Bahasa which will bring you to Jalan Hang Tuah and Jalan Imbi to the Bukit Bintang area. To get to KLCC, proceed towards Jalan Duta south direction, then Lebuhraya Mahameru which links up with Jalan Tun Razak. There is a tunnel linking Jalan Tun Razak directly to the KLCC car park.
