This is a great service covering a lot of ground, but traffic in KL often means there are hold-ups and there is a long wait time between buses. I recommend getting on, staying on, and then deciding where you may want to get off for one or two sites. The ticket is for 24 hours so it can be spread over two days which is awesome.

This is a free bus service that can basically get you to any attraction you may want to see while in KL. This is a great service! The buses are clean, safe and there are 5 different routes around the city.
Locating the actual bus stop was a bit tricky at first, but once you have a general idea of the route, you'll be good to go!

Its free for everyone - residents, and tourists.
I tried two different routes, to their terminal and back to where I started (they follow a circular route). Stops are indicated on a board in front of the bus, which is useful.
I passed Merdeka Square four times and decided that I really didn't need to get off and set it. Instead I got off at the Pavilion Shopping Mall and wandered around there and Lot 10.
Lots of people having a good time.

A new orange line has been added to the four excisting ones to cover a University area. The ride is free and most customers are local. It is an easy choice for sight seeing combining the routes at random. The busses run now on electricity, a wise decision though in oil rich Malesia petrol is cheap.

There are four routes, but only two (green line and purple) are mostly use by traveller. Green line runs between Bukit Bintang and KLCC, and Purple line runs between Pasar Seni Statiin and Bukit Bintang. You can change line in front of The Pavillion Mall as two lines connecting in this stop. Frequency is every ten minutes and quite packed especially in morning and late afternoon after the office workers rush. It is free and convinence to save a few ringgits if you are travelling from these two area.

Dreadful service. The driver of the Green bus stopped half down Bukit Bintang and not at an allocated slot at 10 pm on the 3rd of Nov, and drove past many foreigners standing at the correct stand. Racist, undoubtedly, leaves one wondering about Malaysia's treatment of non bumiputera, undoubtedly. Shameful behaviour.

My apartment building is right next to the bus station. A common site is 5-10 busses just sat at the terminal with the bus drivers talking to each other leaving a crowd of people waiting. Taking the bus from any other stop and your guaranteed to wait up to 45 minutes for a supposed 10 minute wait according to the signs. For example, the blue line bus will have possibly 4 at a time parked at the terminal leaving maybe 1 or 2 on the road actually making rounds. The drivers and lazy and there seems to be no supervision over them. Also don’t be surprised if the driver passes you at the bus station without stopping. This has happened to me multiple times even with empty busses. Only positive is that it’s free, but your better off taking grab or the monorail/trains

Excellent service and we used it to the maximum to visit locations of interest within KL city. There are four lines and each one takes a different route. If you study the city and plan well, you could use this service and do sight seeing at no cost.

Still operating as usual, pay attention inside the bus because in certain hours there are a lot of workers using this bus and quite crowded. Be aware of pickpocket as well

I also stayed in China Town. Look for the Kota Raya supermarket. In front of Kota Raya there is a bus stop. You can wait for the purple bus there.

Good Morning
Easiest question this morning.
Please ask Reception about best way to go to your destination,sometimes monorail ,that is extraordinaryly cheap can help as well.All rail stations are hubs.Buses are usually actroos the street from stations.Please check with Information which line is best for you: red,pink,green or blue.When you board ask driver to shout when you reach destination,the bus is free so have a seat and enjoy the ride
We will be staying in Swiss Garden Residences Hotel with address 2A Jalan Galloway 117 Jalan Pudu Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for June 12-17, 2019,can the free KL Bus bring us also to our hotel after KL City destination?

You may download the map for free from GoKL official webpage (sorry cannot insert link here)
The hotel is near to where purple line operates (look at the downloaded map now), specifically KL 108 Kotaraya and KL 86 Bukit Bintang bus stops. Check the bus stops' position in Google map. KL 108 is slightly nearer to the hotel, but if you are already traveling within Bukit Bintang area, you may opt for KL 86 stop. Do note that both are very popular and crowded bus stops.
Once on the bus, announcement of the next stop may not be playing, or not clearly audible, so have the map handy at hand. Do take note that the hub for purple line is KL 1821 Pasar Seni (see map). At KL 1821 bus station, alight from the bus and walk to the bus in front of the line and board it, which should be departing soon. Now with the map and using the same rules, you may plan to transfer and use other lines to suit your itinerary. The map shows where you could transfer between lines. For e.g. KL 9 Wisma Boustead bus stop allows transfer from purple to blue line.
To know the time the bus operates, go to the GO KL oficial page and scroll down to find out, which states...
Working day: 0600-2300 hrs
Weekends and holidays: 0700-2300 hrs
0700-1000 hrs & 1600-2000 hrs every 5 min frequency
Other hrs every 10 min frequency
Exact time can also be found from Google map. For e.g., search for KL 108 Kotaraya, and time of the next bus will be listed. However, on the ground, bus will surely arrive but at unexpected time than Google map. Do expect buses and popular bus stops to be packed with passengers and take precautions with belongings while in the crowd.

Hi there,
I just had a look on one of the websites showing the different lines and routes, and my suggestion is that you use google maps and find the line that goes closest to your hotel and then use the moovilapp website or another website that shows all the lines that GPKL buses use. I could do that for you, but I think you could do it too. I never heard of your hotel by the way :).

Hi, Go KL bus doesn't operate from the airport. Take the Klia Express train to KL Sentral, one of the GO KL buslines has a stop there, check the destinations.

At the GO KL bus stop or from the hotel take a copy of the leaflet which gives all the routes of different colour buses and you can decide which bus to take and where to change to reach your destination.
