Bus from KLIA2 to KL Sentral

travelingpersecond

KLIA2 is the most popular airport terminal for travelers to visit to Malaysia. So, if you are one of them, your chances to landing on KLIA2 (Terminal 2) will be higher than landing on KLIA (Terminal 1). This is because LCC (Low Cost Carrier) aircraft such as Air Asia and Scoot Air will land on KLIA2.

Of course, you will go to Kuala Lumpur downtown after landing. There are three choices of transportation modes which can be used, namely taxi, KLIA Express train and airport bus. Now, back to the opportunity, then the most chance which will be used by travelers is using airport bus because this transportation mode is the cheapest one. Here’s the comparison:

KLIA2 to KL Sentral.

1. Using taxi = USD 22.8

2. Using KLIA Express train = USD 14.2

3. Using airport bus = USD 3.1 (the most cheapest)

Therefore, I need to write my journey story when using airport bus from KLIA2 to Kuala Lumpur downtown, which passengers will be dropped off at KL Sentral.

Long time before, I had also written about my trip using Airport Coach from KLIA to KL Sentral. You can see it in the following link:

Bus from KLIA to KL Sentral, Malaysia

Now, I will write my trip from KLIA2 to KL Sentral. Here’s the story:

On exactly 9:15 hours, I passed KLIA2 immigration counter. Early morning flight didn’t provide me an opportunity even if only just eating an omlet like my usual day at home. This made my stomach was very hungry after arriving at KLIA2.

A moment later, I sat at HomeTown Hainan Coffee on 2nd floor of Gateway @ KLIA2 mall. Eating 2 half-cooked eggs for USD 1.5 made my stomach which continued to rebel slightly calm .

Its cool name is Omega Half Boiled Eggs….Hahaha.

Three restaurant waitresses were closely watching me when I pulled out many sheets of 1 Malaysian Ringgit. Yes, I asked for 50 sheets to DolarAsia money changer at Melawai Street, South Jakarta when exchanging money. Hahaha….Swear, I was really embarrassing five years ago.

Heading to 1st floor which is location of KLIA2 Transportation Hub. Then I hurried to Aerobus ticket sales counter.

Use that elevator!
Those are taxi and bus ticket sales counter at KLIA2.

At that time, Aerobus ticket fare (on 2014) was USD 1.2. But last time when I went to KLIA2 again in April 2019, this bus fare was already at USD 2.6.

Ticket fare have double increased after 5 years.

I waited for Aerobus Express at platform no A05 on 15 minutes before departure time. Positively thing of this bus is its time accuracy. Besides Aerobus Express, another bus company which operating on this route is Aerosky Ventures or better known as Skybus.

Aerobus which came on platform no A05.

Only needed to show ticket which I had bought then bus staff would tore driver copy part of ticket. Every time I take a bus in Malaysia, for some reason I really like to taking a back seat. Sitting in the back might be more free for me to observe around.

Entering aerobus….sat at back.

Aerobus would run to KL Sentral via MEX (Maju Expressway) Toll Road. 50 minutes trip that I spent for watching situation of Selangor state streets.

Approaching the end of trip, bus slowly entered to Stesen Sentral road to stop at KL Sentral.

Do you know KL Sentral, right? It stands for Kuala Lumpur Sentral which is main train station in Kuala Lumpur and the largest train station in Southeast Asia. Located in Brickfields area and integrated with shopping centres, hotels, offices and condos.

Bus shelter with KL Sentral to KLIA/KLIA2 route is located in KL Sentral Basement. Here is the shelter:

Aerobus/Skybus Shelter at KL Sentral.
Aerobus and Skybus which were taking passengers at KL Sentral.

From Basement, I only needed to go up by escalator to 1st floor to reached gate which headed to commuter and LRT platform.

I was already at gate and getting ready for Batu Caves.

For some transportation modes from KLIA2 to KL Sentral, you can get the ticket at 12Go Asia or at following link: https://12go.asia/?z=3283832

  • Jadi inget pertama kali ke KL Sentral turun dari ETS dari Padang Besar. Deg-degan juga, Mas, soalnya itu hub transportasi paling kompleks yang pernah saya naiki waktu itu (meskipun KL Sentral jadi nggak ada apa-apanya kalau dibandingin sama stasiun2 kereta di Singapura). Laluannya banyak banget. Untungnya KL Sentral berpihak sama pejalan go show. Jadi nggak perlu pakai kartu pun masih tetap bisa naik dengan token yang dibeli langsung di konter.

      • Bianget, Mas. Terpana saya lihat angkanya di monitor pojok gerbong. 😀 Nggak enaknya cuma satu, Mas: lebih mahal ketimbang bus.

        Yang ngeselin tuh, kalau kita datang dari arah Thailand naik kereta siang dari Bangkok terus nyambung shuttle train, kemungkinan besar ketinggalan ETS yang jadwalnya paling dekat. Kalau sudah begini, mending ke Butterworth aja dulu terus nyambung bus ke selatan. 😀

      • Nggak tau kenapa, kalau ada opsi lewat jalur darat, kereta utamanya atau minimal bis kecil, saya lebih milih itu. Murah dan biasanya bisa ngobrol dengan banyak orang dan dapet cerita.

      • Nah itu….” banyak orang dan dapet cerita”…alasan yg sama sering kulontarkan ke konferensi pers…padahal padune ra nduwe duit mas buat mabur….hahaha

      • Pokoke nggaya…sing penting iso mlaku mlaku luar negrih……kalau ga punya uang yg penting punya sifat gila…..kalau waras, nanti kek mereka, mau jalan aja mikir mikir sembarang macem…ujung ujungnya cm rencana belaka.

      • Kandani ‘og…..hahahaha. sing penting mangkat….21 hari cm bawa kaos 5 biji ….pernah……dikeroyok imigrasi busan mau dideportasi gegara bawa uang 1.4 juta buat 5 hari…..pernah.
        Atau…dipindah ke airport hotel pas sweeping di bandara kuwait….ngarep begitu lagi.
        Hahhaha…wong uedan kita mah.

      • Sebentar lagi pasti tak tulis….banyak kota yg udah ngantri di tulis….
        Mlebu koran nanti ae nak pas dadi motipator…..merusak moral orang supaya jadi gila….supaya bisa jadi trapeler semua orang Indonesia.

      • Nek mblebu koran kan iso dibingkai njuk ditemplek neng ruang tamu hahaha
