The easiest way to get around KL: two driverless MRT lines, three LRT lines, an elevated Monorail and an electric BRT link neighborhoods, malls and office districts with high frequency and bilingual signage. Here’s a clear —yet practical— guide to understand the map, pick the right pass, connect with the airport, and make the most of the network from your very first ride.
General info and how it works
The Klang Valley metropolitan area has an integrated system managed by Prasarana (Rapid KL and Rapid Bus) and MRT Corp. For visitors, the key point is that one family of passes covers MRT (Kajang and Putrajaya), LRT (Kelana Jaya, Ampang and Sri Petaling), KL Monorail and BRT Sunway. Main transfer points include TRX (MRT↔MRT), Pasar Seni (LRT↔MRT), Masjid Jamek (LRT↔LRT), Titiwangsa (LRT–Monorail–MRT) and USJ7 (LRT–BRT). Signage is in Malay and English, and in modern stations all transfers are covered.

Tip: download the integrated PDF map to your phone and highlight TRX, Pasar Seni, Masjid Jamek and KL Sentral. It will save you time and steps when transferring.
Main lines (what travelers use)
MRT Kajang (green line)
Runs Kwasa Damansara–Kajang. It’s GoA4 (fully automated), with platform doors and Siemens Inspiro trains. It’s the backbone for hotels and shopping: Bukit Bintang (walkway to Monorail), Pasar Seni (LRT transfer), Muzium Negara/KL Sentral and TRX (same-platform transfer with Putrajaya line).
MRT Putrajaya (yellow line)
Connects Kwasa Damansara–Putrajaya Sentral. Also driverless. Stops include Titiwangsa, Chan Sow Lin, and ends at Putrajaya Sentral (KLIA Transit link) — convenient for Malaysia’s administrative capital. Features a women-only coach marked in pink.
LRT Kelana Jaya (ruby line)
KL’s first driverless urban rail: Gombak–Putra Heights. Stops at KLCC (Petronas Towers), connects with Pasar Seni (MRT) and USJ7 (BRT). If you’re staying near KLCC or heading to Subang/Sunway, this is your line.
LRT Ampang & Sri Petaling
Share Sentul Timur–Chan Sow Lin before splitting: Ampang eastbound and Sri Petaling southbound to Putra Heights (interchange with Kelana Jaya). Great for trips between downtown and traditional neighborhoods, with stops like Masjid Jamek, Plaza Rakyat/Merdeka and Maluri.
KL Monorail (light green)
Runs KL Sentral–Titiwangsa across the “Golden Triangle.” If you need KL Sentral–Bukit Bintang with elevated views, this is the most direct and scenic ride.
BRT Sunway (dark green)
A 100% elevated corridor with electric buses linking Sunway–Setia Jaya and USJ7. Perfect for Sunway Pyramid and Sunway Lagoon, connecting with KTM at Setia Jaya and with LRT at USJ7.
Connection with KLIA (Ekspres & Transit)
From KLIA (T1/T2), take KLIA Ekspres (non-stop) or KLIA Transit (with stops) to KL Sentral. Ekspres takes ~28–31 min; Transit ~35–40 min. At KL Sentral you connect with LRT (Kelana Jaya), MRT (walkway to Muzium Negara), Monorail and KTM. Going to Bukit Bintang? Combine Ekspres/Transit + Monorail. Heading to TRX or the financial district? Transfer to MRT.
