Walkabout │ KL Sentral and Beyond!

Sorting Out Our Travel Plans

With a short trip coming up next week to an undisclosed destination, we decided to sort out our transport arrangements. We caught the GoKL Red Line Free Bus to KL Sentral, then bought our train tickets at the ETS counter.

From there, we boarded a KTM Komuter train to Bandar Tasik Selatan (BTS). If you’re in a hurry, we would recommend taking the Kelana Jaya LRT Line to Masjid Jamek, then switching to the Putra Heights LRT Line instead. But since we weren’t rushing, the Komuter was perfectly fine. After a considerable wait, the train arrived, and twenty minutes later we reached BTS. The fare was RM2.10 each (≈ USD/EUR0.50).

The TBS Experience

We walked into Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS), Klang Valley’s largest bus terminal, hoping to buy return tickets from our undisclosed destination. Unfortunately, the terminal was swarmed. Out of the many counters, only about five were operating, which created unbearably long queues.

We tried the self service kiosks next, but our preferred bus line wasn’t listed. Oh well — we could always buy the tickets online.

Heading to Bukit Bintang

We then walked to the LRT Bandar Tasik Selatan station and took the Sentul LRT Line to Hang Tuah, where we switched to the Monorail to Bukit Bintang. The total fare was RM2.90 each (≈ USD0.70/EUR0.60).

Our luggage bags needed replacing, so we visited Leather Avenue in Sungei Wang Plaza. The prices, however, were far too high for our liking.

Errands and Lunch

Undeterred, we caught a GoKL Blue Line Free Bus back toward home, but instead of heading straight back, we walked to Haniffa Department Store to settle another errand.

From there, we crossed Jalan Bunus 6 and had lunch at Tepui Corner in Semua House — so be sure to catch our next video for that.

After lunch, we walked through the lively Jalan TAR Night Market, then stopped by SOGO to check out luggage at Travel for All. Nothing caught our eye, and the salesperson didn’t seem very interested in helping us anyway.

Wrapping Up the Day

We headed home, stopping by a shawarma stall along the way to pick up dinner. That marked the end of our vlog for the day — and we’ll probably sort out our luggage situation tomorrow.

A Small Reminder

While masks are now optional outdoors, they are still mandatory indoors. Stay safe and considerate.
