Traveling in Kuala Lumpur via public transportation is fairly easy, especially if you are moving about within the city. But of course there are times when it is more convenient to have a car to travel in, especially when you are new in Malaysia. Standing in a crowded train, soaked from the rain and carrying your luggage is just not fun.
