Their LRT is okay, though I have experienced delay the last time I went to KL in April this year. I heard the locals saying the delay was because they didn't have enough trains, so the delay at each station can make up for the shortfall. Don't know how true it is. Just don't take their KTM Limiter. Very long waiting time.

What is the best way to get from KL International Airport to SOGO KL ?

Estimated fare for Grab or Uber? Advisable?

Why not safe?
Just prepare your exact fare in advance, reach destination, pay and get out...

Anyone knows when I can buy the ets ticket to perlis for 24th Dec? I tried to book on easybook.com there's no ride after 30 Nov. Btw is it better to take a bus to kangar then take ktm to padang besar or eta straight to padang besar.

As of now, all sites show the same info, earliest ride i can find is 18 dec and there's only 1 timing. Not sure how they release it but it seems like it's batch by batch.

Anyone has any idea how reliable the ETS is? my train to bkk is 5pm at padang besar. Which timing ETS should I book?

You can depart KL earlier. You have 3 choices:

Station Departs KL Sentral Arrives P. Besar Operating Days
EG 9020 07.05 12.35 All
EP 9006 08.00 13.15 Fr/Sa/Su
EG 9512 09.44 15.10 All

Yes Thai time. I'm leaving from ipoh. I'm only afraid it will be delayed.

I don't think the ETS is so unreliable. There are additional options if you make your way to Butterworth, 2 hours away from Ipoh by road. The Butterworth-Padang Besar Komuter is quite frequent.

That was my initial plan until penang flooded and they are expecting a second wave in dec so I had no choice but to go to padang besar from ipoh. Anyway, do you know which cabin and row I should book to have a forward facing seat?

Trains are least likely to be affected by flooding. All seats face the front, except for the first 4 in every carriage.

Hi All

Reviving this thread since it contained a lot of useful information. Planned a KL trip in June and have some questions for those who went recently

- From KLCC to Twin tower, is it better to grab or take train? Read mixed reviews of it, some said that with jam, it will take at least 3-4 hours to reach town area

- Any must eat places in KL?

- Will be planning a day trip to Genting as well, from the replies in the Genting Thread, likely will use Grab or Go Genting taxi.. Any other recommendation?

Thanks all in advance!

KLCC = Twin Tower. Maybe you mean KLIA. The KLIA Ekspres takes you to KL Sentral. From Sentral, the LRT takes you to KLCC. https://www.klsentral.info/kl-sentral-to-klcc/
