Traveling to Kuala Lumpur
Overview
The Malaysian capital is a fascinating melting pot of Malay, Indian and Chinese culture, dotted with colonial relics, magnificent mosques and towering skyscrapers. This is a city to enjoy at leisure, exploring energetic markets, atmospheric colonial quarters, and sampling some of the finest food in all Asia.
Getting around
Taxis whisk travellers around Kuala Lumpur in air-conditioned comfort, but the city’s mass transit system – with trains, buses and a monorail – provides easy access to every quarter of the city. Prepaid Rapid KL tickets cover travel on buses, the monorail and LRT trains, while KTM Kommuter trains link the centre to attractions in the suburbs.
Traveling to Jakarta
Overview
Jakarta perfectly sums up the spirit of Indonesia: dynamic, optimistic and adventurous. The capital of Java – and of the nation – has evolved into a teeming modern metropolis, but there’s history at its heart, particularly in Kota, where traces of the Dutch colonial capital of Batavia endure amongst the gleaming office towers.
Getting around
Buses are the backbone of public transport in Jakarta, and TransJakarta buses run around the city on dedicated busways, avoiding the city’s infamous traffic jams. When the traffic is moving, air-conditioned taxis are the preferred way to get around, and there are also dwindling numbers of bajaj (auto-rickshaws).
