Info / Insights: Stesen Sentral (Sentral Station) is often erroneously (and understandably) referred to as KL Sentral. This transportation hub sits within the KL Sentral project; a 'city within a city' concept designed by renowned architect Dr Kisho Kurokawa. The master plan comprises of office towers, international hotels, luxurious condominiums, shopping malls and an international exhibition & convention center.

The almost 1 million sq ft terminal functions as a convenient and centralised transit terminal by connecting rail lines of the LRT (Putra) system and train lines of KTM Komuter / Intercity system.

There is an unfortunate quirk though. The KL Monorail stops short of the terminal and passengers will need to lug their bags for about 200 metres, crossing busy Jalan Tun Sambanthan. While it is great the budget LCCT buses are also functioning from Stesten Sentral, the accompanying touts add a rowdy and chaotic touch to the otherwise futuristic terminal.

KLIA-bound travelers can also use the 'bullet train' type KLIA Express (http://www.kliaekspres.com/). The trains take off from Kuala Lumpur City Air Terminal (KL CAT or Terminal Udara KL). It bears the IATA code of XKL and air passengers can check in their luggage directly here.

As with many of our transport terminals, tourists and locals need to be protected from the predatory cabbies via a coupon system.

What was once a huge railway yard, is fast shaping up as the modern city envisioned by the developers of KL Sentral (http://www.klsentral.com.my/) . The completed buildings include:
