Metro station, Malaysia

The excellent public transportation in Kuala Lumpur is partially responsible for the city's explosive growth from a small tin mining camp in the 1850s to the busy capital of Malaysia. Despite an expansive network of rail systems, buses, and even a monorail, much of the city's 7.2 million residents don't take advantage. Only an estimated 16% of residents use public transportation, the remaining choose to drive their own vehicles.
Today, three modern light rail transit systems - including a monorail - make getting around the city easier than ever. Kuala Lumpur trains are a traveler's best friend for circumnavigating the city's infamous traffic and checking out the many things to do in Kuala Lumpur. Don't be intimidated when you first see the rail map; tickets are surprisingly cheap and the rail system is easy to navigate.
