Petaling Jaya

PJ is quite spread out and you pretty much need your own wheels to get around.

By train

The Kelana Jaya Line (http://www.rapidkl.com.my...) light rail transit LRT is convenient for those moving between PJ New Town and Kelana Jaya.

By taxi

All Kuala Lumpur metered taxis operate in Petaling Jaya, but there are far fewer roaming the streets and you'll usually need to find a taxi stand or call them up. Some cab company numbers are:-

Comfort Taxi

Tel: +60-3-26922525. RM1 surcharge on top of the meter.

Super Cab Taxi

Tel: +60-3-78055333. RM1 surcharge on top of the meter.

Public Cab Taxi

By bus

Rapid KL (http://www.rapidkl.com.my) and Metrobus are the main operators. Although the bus service is not exactly up to first world standards, it has improved tremendously in recent years. The network is still complicated but Rapid KL now at least provides information on its routes on its website.

Rapid KL's network works on a hub and spoke concept, where trunk routes the bus number starts with "U" from Kuala Lumpur link hubs in Petaling Jaya where local shuttle buses the bus number starts with "T" fan out into the numerous residential areas. Local shuttles also radiate from light rail transit LRT stations. Main hubs include the Kelana Jaya, Taman Bahagia, Asia Jaya and Taman Jaya LRT stations, and Bandar Utama next to One Utama Shopping Centre, Damansara Uptown, EPF and Asia Jaya bus stops.

All Metrobus buses fares go according to distance with destinations in PJ originate from Kuala Lumpur. They serve most areas in PJ, especially Section 14, Kota Damansara, and southern PJ.

If you are staying in the major hotels Hilton, Sunway Resort, Eastin, Crystal Crown, Royale Bintang, and Armada, all of them have shuttle bus services that take guests into KL City and various PJ landmarks such as Sunway Lagoon, One Utama, and The Curve Shopping Center.
