Bukit Bintang is less than 2 km away from Pudu Sentral.
But walking with your luggage around Kuala Lumpur is bad idea. The weather is hot and humid, the pedestrian footpaths are inadequate and the road crossings are at times dangerous (like most Asian countries, those behind the wheels are usually dangerous).
Because of this you only have 2 options left :-
1. Train
You will need to haul your luggage up and down the stairs of the stations I mentioned below.
- From Pudu Sentral, take the RapidKL Ampang Line heading to Ampang. Fare is RM[currency]1.20[/currency]
- Get off at the Hang Tuah station.
- Take the monorail from the Hang Tuah to Bukit Bintang. Fare is RM[currency]1.20[/currency].
2. Taxi
Taxi can be the easiest or the hardest way to get to Bukit Bintang.
The metered taxi fare should be around than RM[currency]7[/currency]. But depending on the time, many drivers in Pudu Sentral will refuse to go to Bukit Bintang during peak hours. Those who agrees to take you will normally refuse to use a meter.
Note: There’s an additional RM[currency]1[/currency] charge if you use the boot. 50 % surcharge is applicable if you haul a taxi at night.
