KLIA to Kuala Lumpur Railway System
The railway system in Kuala Lumpur is state of the art to put it mildly. The railway system joins the airport to the city center while also having a mono rail and a raised railway to service other parts of the city.
The railway service from the airport (KLIA Express) is excellent and for many people it is the only way to travel from the airport to KL. The service operates every 20 minutes from 5 am to 12 am and takes exactly 28 minutes to cover the 100 or so kilometers. The service is clean, fast and safe and has the advantage from running the basement of the arrivals hall at Kuala Lumpur's stunning airport. The cost of this service is RM35 one way and is a non stop service to Sentral Station in Kuala Lumpur.
The other public transport options from the airport to the city are by taxi, but beware because they are out to make a handsome profit on this trip. A taxi from the airport should never cost more than RM100 including tolls and even at that they are making a massive profit. If you manage to get one for RM60 you will be doing well. The advantage of a taxi is that if there are a number of you it will be cheaper and you will be brought straight to you hotel / final destination.
If you do choose the rail link to Sentral Station from KLIA you will need a taxi from there to your final destination. There will be people selling you taxis from desks within the station, but you may fare better if you just go outside and try to talk to the taxi drivers yourself.
