How to ReachEdit
By Air : The nearest major airport is Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB / WMSA). This airport has international and domestic flights from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and is 18 km from the center of Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
By Train : T he LRT Putra line is quick and easy to use and will take you to the centre of KL From the Hilton in PJ the nearest station is Taman Jaya. Turn left from the entrance and walk past the Nestle headquarters walking uphill. As yo clear the buildings you will see the overhead LRT line. Follow the line until you come to the station. Useful stations along the route are KL Sentral link with the KTM railway, Pasar Seni for Chinatown is handy for the craft market and Petaling Street Pasar Malam (night market). If you are a shopaholic KLCC is probably the place for you to get off and visit the malls in this area. It is also a good place to see the famed Petronas towers.
By BuS : The introduction of the Intra Kota bus system by DRB-Hicom saw the replacement of Sri Jaya and the mini-buses by the early 1990s. At the same time, some of the Petaling Jaya-Kuala Lumpur bus routes were serviced by Metrobus.
By Taxi : Private van or AUV service is cheaper as prices here are cheap since gasoline prices are subsidized in Malaysia, where a liter of premium unleaded gasoline is ony RM 2.15. There are many Tour Companies around Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya offering this service that goes vice versa to both areas. There are two kinds of private van tours, the first one is via a tour company private van tour of which the entrance fees of the attractions and or lunch is included (if you booked a whole day tour, which is different from the half day tour and full day tour as half day tours lasts 4 to 5 hours while the full day tour lasts 8 to 10 hours) and the cost is about 250 to 300 RM per person, depending on the number of locations visited like for example: half day kuala lumpur or whole day kuala lumpur tour, whole day tour of Sunway Pyramid Lagoon, KL or Petaling Jaya to Malacca, etc. Or you can hire the private van with the driver cum tour guide in one and the entrances to all attaction you would go wii be paid by your own pocket. A whole day tour without paid entrances to attractions is about 180 to 200 RM per person
By Other : The LRT is versatile as it takes you all the way to the suburban parts of KL. But as far as travelling within PJ is concerned, it adequately takes to you Taman Jaya,Taman Bahagia and Kelana Jaya. Prices are alright but they are constantly on the rise. Arm yourself with a Touch n Go card and you cannot go wrong. Else it is great to go by car (taxi fares could be exorbitant) and I would give the busses a miss.
