Kuala Lumpur - Best Way To Get Around
This video, Kuala Lumpur, Best Way To Get Around will help you easily get to the most important sites visitors to KL are interested in most. People criticize the KL metro for it's inefficiencies but regardless of the slowness of the monorail, infrequent trains, and tedious connections between some lines I think it's a great and very adequate means of getting around the city.
There are so many things I love about KL from the bustling Bukit Bintang shopping and entertainment district, KLCC, the Central Market, Chinatown, and Little India as well as everything in between and one of the best day trips, the Batu Caves, easily reached via the KTM line. Leave your comments on why you love KL. Thanks for watching!!!
Peace, love, and safe travels! This is John Saboe.....

Very few youtubers reach the level of videos that you create. I don’t understand why you aren’t on the travel channel and other media.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I think you just made my day!!!
Totally agrees with Andy. I did mentioned before in your video, you have a distinct voice just like some news journalists.
@@philipng4529 thank you so much. I really appreciate both of you and your support!
That covered walkway from the Pavillion Mall to KLCC was convenient and comfortable !
Yes I agree!
Excellent video, John! KL is one of my favorite cities and I will be going back there for the whole month of May. Nice to hear your tips on getting around the city. I have to admit that I rely on Grab for most of my short trips. I need to show more love to the metro and monorail system as it really is one of the best systems in SE Asia and the world. Thank you for all of your information! Safe travels!
Thanks very much! Appreciate your support. I hope that you’ll find the metro as efficient or even more so than Grab for some of your destinations. Cheers!!!
Among all of youtubers that visit KL this is one of the best video of KL , proper editing , simple , packed with useful information .combining all that and become some sort of short documentary vlog.Thanks to all vloggers that come to KL .Your contribution help, giving back life to Small businesses here after covid. We never ever thought KL could surpass Bangkok as the most visited city in Southeast asia, and 6th in the world for 2023 because we understand we were not really popular compare to Singapore and Bangkok. Thanks for your contribution for our tourism industry. Thanks for visiting.
Thank you for your kind words and appreciation. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for KL from the first time I visited over 10 years ago. I’ve been fortunate to have traveled to other parts of Malaysia and have found the same hospitality and warmth from Malaysians, no matter where I go. Thanks again!
@@iamjohnsaboe no thanks to you . Not only for visiting and also helped other tourist with guide how to get around with our public transportation 😅.Glad you have a positive experience in Malaysia. Wish you all the success in the future.thank you , for promoting southeast asia overall. Enjoy your next travel.
His is a Documentary. Others are vlogging.
@@fuckyoutube4changingmyusername thank you!
Thank you for this video. Kuala Lumpur is on my bucket list. The info in this video will be very useful when I finally get to do the trip. Good luck on your travelling and your other endeavours.
Thanks very much! I hope you can get to KL soon!!!
One of the most informative videos about KL I have ever seen. John you are setting the bar really high with your videos. Congrats!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate your kind words my friend!!!
You roll like a local. Your editing is next level. Love this vid.
Thank you so much, really appreciate that!!!
What a lovely video, getting around KL with the cheap public transportation.
Thank you very much!!!
@@iamjohnsaboe Thank you too. Just finished watching the video. It's a very comprehensive guide of manoeuvring around KL to the touristy sites in the city. You've made it looked like traveling by public transportation in KL very convenient and interesting too. 😀
@@iamjohnsaboe Your video ushered back to my memory lanes of using some of the lines in KL. Notably, using LRT, Monday to Friday, from my apartment in Bandar Baru Sentul near Sentul Station to KL Sentral where my previous office is located in MIDA HQ via the Masjid Jamek Station. Previously, I was working in KLCC, from site office to Petronas Twin Towers 2, from 1993 to 1999, back then LRT to KLCC Station wasn't in place. What's not in the video is using the KTM line, which I used every Friday for my weekly Friday prayer at the National Mosque, commuting from KL Sentral to the old KTM train station. What a wonderful vlog. Excellent. 😀
I hope in the near future you will do similar videos on how to get to touristic places in KL suburbs like Putrajaya, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam among many others. Your voice is just mesmerizing.
Thanks very much, very kind of you to say that. Your idea for a video sounds like a lot of fun. I’d like to do that sometime for sure!
I love this city✌️
Me too!!!
Another great helpful video, I’ll keep watching as long as you keep posting them, all the best brother. Looking forward to more from Vietnam. Michael G. Hamilton Ont.
Thanks so much Michael, always appreciate your support!!!
It wont take me a decade to know how to get around KL thanks to your video mr Saboe . Peace ,love and safe travels to you sir !
Thank you so much!!!
I’ve had the pleasure of taking all sorts of transportation options in KL and indeed they are very easy and efficient. A bus from KLIA2 to KL Sentral, a monorail from KL Sentral to Bukit Bintang, an economy bus to and from Singapore, a taxi from Bukit Bintang to my Airbnb, several Rapid KL lines to KLCC and Ikea Cheras and a Grab ride from my Airbnb in Bukit Bintang to KLIA2. KL is the most stunning and possibly the most efficient and affordable cities for transportation. And this guide will be helpful whenever I go back to the city. Cheers, John! (Btw, your transitions in the start were cool) 😎
Hey thanks very much, especially thanks for sharing your experience which will help others feel at ease traveling in Malaysia!
@@iamjohnsaboe travelers should always feel at ease in Malaysia 😊 I remember back then, my feet hurt horribly from waiting for the train to sit at a nearby bench so I relinquished my spot at the front of the line. To my surprise, when the train arrived, the lady who took my spot beckoned me to get come over and enter the train before her. Malaysians are truly wonderful amazing people. Beautiful city, nicest people 🤗
@@alvaromangubat yes agree!
wow, another great video. keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!!!
when a tv media editor becomes a video blogger..this is the result. welcome to Malaysia 🫰🏞️😁
Hey thanks so much!!! Really appreciate that!!!
A small, comprehensive and convenient city that offers everything including the little luxuries. A very well research, detail and meticulous video. TQ. Malaysia is a food heaven while the people, the races and the cultures are a melting pot. While the durian is the king of fruit and it smells like hell but tastes like heaven. As for public transport, its very convenient and practical to take the train in the city of A1 KL. From the city of KL you can venture out to the old Malacca city or go north to the islands of Penang and Langkawi or to the Taman Negars National Park and later go island hopping to the East Coast and finally go tribal to East Malaysia of Sabah and Sarawak.
Thank you so much and especially thanks for sharing this info. I have traveled to Sarawak and Sabah, the fruit is absolutely the best!
Thanks, heading there soon.
Thanks, have a great visit!!!
Heya John, I stayed in the KLIA 2 airport Capsule Hotel last February. It was an ideal rest up option as I arrived at 2 in the morning. There is the bus ticket terminal right next to it. I’m thinking of spending time exploring Malaysia next winter.
Hey thanks for sharing that Noel!!! If you’re in Malaysia you should visit Sabah, and Sarawak on Borneo, they’re amazing!!!
Excellent detail & info. - quality presentation - Thanks John ✔️😃👍👋🙏
Super appreciate that, take care and thanks for your support as always!!!
I like your voice! KLite here and I'm watching even though I know all the ways and nooks and crannies 😂
Haha, thanks I appreciate that especially knowing that you don’t need to watch this video!
Such a good quality video. Keep it up!!!
Thanks so much!!!
Cheapest way to KL from KLIA take ERL( KLIA express link ) to putrajaya RM 9.8 only ..from putrajaya take MRT to KL ..about RM 2 only
KLIA Transit link maybe?
Bro, you have a perfect voice for Documentaries, do you do Voice overs for Documentaries ? the video is very well organized and info are on point. really Underrated Channel.

Really awesome. Great video. I wish you posted daily or weekly.
Hey thanks so much!!! Striving for twice a month!!!
I like how you have upped your graphics. Also the transport details. 👍🏻👍🏻
Cool! Appreciate that!!!
I also think it's a great improvement; however, those tearing page noises were extreme!@@iamjohnsaboe
@@CasaFassa Lol! Thanks and well-notes!
@@CasaFassa😅
At KL Sentral you missed out, there’s MRT ( Museum Station) line that connect to Bukit Bintang centre. you mentioned that there is no connection between Pavillion Mall and Petronas Twin Tower / KLCC, yes ,there is no rail line, no , there’s free shuttle run between these 2 malls. The GO KL free shuttle bus services.
Thanks for sharing this. I left out other options too because it would be information overload for most people, especially those who have never been to KL. Thanks again.
@@iamjohnsaboe you are welcome, I love your videos of Vietnam. I live in KL, I travel often to Vietnam for leisure
@@saylong7372 thanks, really appreciate that and your helpfulness!
Lovely informative video
Thanks very much!!!
You can take the free GoKL bus b/w Pavillion and KLCC Suria. There are many lines of GoKL that will take you all over the city for free. Ride all lines for airconditioned tours around KL.
Got it, thanks for the tip!
Wowww... And then your next trip... Explore for indonesia❤️🇮🇩
Sure!!!
Welcome to Malaysia ❤❤❤
Thanks so much!!!
Spot on! Only forgot to mention that there’s also extensive network of regular buses hauling around, for instance between Bukit Bintang and Suria KLCC, and many other places when the MRT, LRT or Monorail is not conveniently located
Thanks, and appreciate sharing the info with us!
I lived 10 years in KL, and your video made me homesick... :) Have to say, me and my wife we've never been overcharged by a taxi though. If the meter is running, they can't overcharge, and if they shut the meter off you know because they mention a price up front. If they do that I'd just take the next taxi in line.
Thanks for sharing. Most drivers will not run the meter, especially for foreigners. Good for you!
You have to go to Melaka by bus or to Penang by ECRL, it's different from KL Malaysia. The land transportation is very good.
Yes thanks
There is no ECRL that runs from Kl to Penang, ECRL is the East Coast Rail Line that is under construction now. KL to Penang is ETS, the Electric Train Service.
Excellent video just wanted to know whether visa and mastercard work at MRT AND LRT rather than buying tickets we prefer that ..
Thanks very much! Cash only at the stations. You can get a touch and go card and load it with cash.
@@iamjohnsaboe Thanks Much appreciated
Most well came to mlysia, kLumpur
Hey I’ve been in love with Malaysia since the first day we met!
В какои гостиницу вы совету те остановиться и какие цены за ночь?. Спасибо вам огромное из России
As a practical matter, there isn't much point in taking the train in from the airport to KL Sentral and then getting a taxi to your hotel, when a Grab taxi from the airport is only a little more expensive and much more convenient. And Grab is so cheap and convenient for getting around town that there's often little point in using public transport unless you really want to use public transport.
It’s true that could make it more convenient for some. However the problem is if everyone does that we’ll have more cars on the road. More pollution. Using public transportation is lighter on the environment don’t you think? What also happens if there is heavy traffic, an accident or something else.
Theres actually persiaran klcc mrt station if u want to go frm pavillion to klcc
Still involves a transfer.
@@iamjohnsaboe still its connected..unless u want to compare to tokyo metro with its loop line connecting main locations in city centre..even singapore dont hv tht and its part of the future plan for kl
@@irishque JR Yamanote Line is an excellent example. Personally I think the walking route is the best choice if you can manage it ok. I liked walking between BB and KLCC.
@@iamjohnsaboe yes thts why i said theres no loop line in sea asia yet but its part of kl future plan already
that double burger in kg baru cost rm4.50?? it's rm6 in Jb!
Wow, come to KB!!!
lol...using public transport in Malaysia just a waste of time...better drive a car more efficient...
Why are you wearing a mask? Why are there people still wearing masks?
Good question! At the time there was a very big outbreak of Covid. Not as life threatening but something I didn’t want to get while traveling.
Prevention better in everything.
@@DaudJusoh-ix8st Agree!
