Airport
The easiest way to get to the airport is to call a taxi from your hotel (RM65); taxis flagged down on the street tend not to want to go out that far. Most of the larger hostels can help arrange transport to the airport for around the same price. Otherwise, call the airport coach service (tel 03/653 3154), preferably giving a day's notice, to ensure you're picked up from your hotel in good time. Or thirdly, do the Nilai route in reverse: enter KL railway station from Jalan Sambathan; take the Komuter Train from platform 3B (end station Seramban), getting off at Nilai, then change onto the local airport bus from directly outside the station.

Trains
The station's information kiosk (daily 8am-8pm) has up-to-date train timetables; call 03/274 7443 or 273 8000 for information and reservations. You must book, preferably at least three days ahead, for the night sleeper to Singapore or Butterworth; most large hotels can do this for you

Buses and long-distance taxis
For long-distance bus route information, call the English-speaking Infoline (tel 03/230 0300). Most long-distance buses leave from Pudu Raya bus station (tel 03/230 0145) on Jalan Pudu, just to the east of Chinatown. The buses leave from ground-floor bays, and ticket offices are on the floor above, along with a left-luggage office (daily 8am-10pm; RM2). Some buses also operate from outside the terminus - these are legitimate, but may only leave when full. Long-distance taxis also use Pudu Raya, arriving and departing from the second floor above the bus ticket offices.

For some departures you'll need one of the other bus stations: Putra (tel 03/442 9530), near the Putra World Trade Centre, for the east coast; Klang (tel 03/230 7694) on Jalan Sultan Mohammed Services for Klang and Port Klang; and Pekeliling (tel 03/442 1256) at the northern end of Jalan Raja Laut, for Kuantan and the interior

Ferries
Ferries to Tanjung Balai, in Sumatra, depart from Port Klang, 38km southwest of KL. Take the Komuter train or a bus from the Klang bus station on Jalan Sultan Mohammed to the port
