Walk: PUTRAJAYA SENTRAL MRT Station to KLIA Transit Terminal

[@SuhaimiAmir]

They should also add "ERL / KLIA Transit" next to TPS direction sign, easier to understand at first glance.

[@WanderEats]

Ya man.. totally agree with you on that. I wasn't exactly sure at first myself.. lol!

[@PlanetDoug]

That's very interesting. Though it took me a while to figure out exactly what this all meant and what you were doing. At first, I thought you were saying that you could take the MRT all the way to KLIA2 now. And that amazed me. I hadn't heard of any MRT construction at the airport. But then I realized that you are talking about taking the KLIA Ekspres high speed train. But you are linking up with the Ekspres train at their Putrajaya station, which is a relatively short distance from KLIA2. So, instead of taking the Ekspres train all the way from KL Sentral, you are taking it from Putrajaya. And THAT's where the savings comes in. Essentially, now you can take the MRT from downtown KL all the way to Putrajaya. And THEN you can hop on the Ekspres train for the final bit to KLIA2. I had to refer to the online MRT maps to figure that out, because I'm not familiar with the new Putrajaya line at all. I had no idea where this new line went. I guess you were thinking of this as an alternative to Grab and other relatively expensive options like that. But it might be an interesting "travel hack" for backpackers as well. And then this would be an alternative to taking the airport bus from KL Sentral. Both would cost about the same. The airport bus costs 15 ringgit now. And this MRT/Ekspres combo would also cost 15 ringgit (5 ringgit for the MRT trip and then 9.4 ringgit for the Ekspres train). The airport bus would be faster and you wouldn't have to transfer so many times or wait for trains to arrive. But at least you don't have to deal with the physical discomforts of boarding the bus or the brusqueness of the guys running those airport buses. They can be a bit short and unfriendly in their manners. Of course, the first step would have to be to get on the Putrajaya MRT line to begin with to travel by MRT to Putrajaya Sentral. Your trip in this video started right at Putrajaya Sentral. But you have to get there first. In my case, I would have to take the MRT from someplace like Pasar Seni to Tun Razak Exchange station and transfer to the Putrajaya Line. That's 3 stops. And then something like 15 stops on the Putrajaya Line to get to Putrajaya Sentral. You'd have to do all that before you can even get on the Ekspres train to KLIA. Plus, you can also do this in reverse, right? I assume you can take the KLIA Ekspres train from KLIA2 to Putrajaya. And then you can transfer to the Putrajaya MRT line and go the rest of the way into Kuala Lumpur. And then you're already in the MRT system and can go anywhere you like. In the video, you said that your trip took one hour and forty-five minutes. But it couldn't have taken that long to get from Putrajaya Sentral to KLIA2. That must also must include your trip on the MRT from Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya, right? So that would be total time from somewhere like Titiwangsa to KLIA2? It's interesting that it's so much cheaper than taking the KLIA Ekspress all the way from KL Sentral. The full fare on the KLIA Ekspres train is 55 ringgit. But this "travel hack" costs 15 ringgit, saving you 40 ringgit. It's definitely appealing to me because I will almost always take a train instead of a bus if I have a choice. 🙂

[@WanderEats]

Yes buddy, you are spot on in your deep analysis. RM15 was for my journey from Titiwangsa to Putrajaya Sentral to KLIA 2 but if you were to take from Pasar Seni and change at TRX, I believe it would be slightly cheaper than my trip. I did not view from that angle but you are right, this could totally be a viable alternative compared to taking the bus since you probably have to wait for the bus to depart at their schedule as well.

Hey Doug, you're back in KL?

@@SuhaimiAmir No, I'm not in KL right now. I'm still in Sumatra. But I'll be flying back this Thursday (Apr.20) and staying for a week or two.

[@hoxyfoxy]

I am from Kajang , if i take grab from home straight to KLIA2 it would cost me RM70+ . but with this.. I can get to KLIA2 in only RM9.40 😮 (cuz I already subscribe to MY50 so MRT fee is considered free la to me) NICEEEEEE 😆 can travel a lot without paying so much money✅

[@WanderEats]

Oh wow... didn't consider the MY50 program. Yes that is indeed a real bargain.

I will be traveling on 29th December 2023, Want to know does Touch N Go card works with only MRT or can it be used for KLIA express too?? I am gonna travel from MRT(Kota Damansara to MRT Putra Jaya Sentral) and from there I want to take KLIA to Airport

[@WanderEats]

Only MRT sadly. You can use your TnGo app account to pay for KLIA Express via their app as payment method though.

[@dioalifutama1254]

is it same walk area if from klia transit putrajaya to mrt putrajaya? because next week im gonna use the klia from the airport to putrjaya then use mrt putrajaya to my hotel.

[@WanderEats]

Yes its the same just backwards from this video I guess.. lol! Have a safe trip next week then... cheers!

[@angelray45]

I'm tempted to use this saving hack tomorrow. I've checked the train schedule. i only have 15 minutes to get from mrt putrajaya to transfer to erl putrajaya. is it enough? from your video seems like need to walk a huge area.

[@WanderEats]

If you are pressed for time, i do not suggest doing this route. Twice it happened to me where I got unto the platform and the train just left. So I had to wait for the next one which is 25mins later. If you have time, this is a great cost saving method for sure.

[@angelray45]

@WanderEats morning! I'm at ERL Putrajaya station right now waiting for the train to the airport. So it was only a 5 minute transfer from MRT Putrajaya to ERL. I wasn't running nor carrying any luggage. I arrived at the ERL platform with still 11 minutes to spare. All in all a pleasant and cost saving experience 😊👍🏼 I'd do this again. I only missed the train by seconds transferring from LRT Sungai Besi to MRT Sg Besi earlier. That couldn't be helped.

[@WanderEats]

@@angelray45 awesome.. glad it worked out for ya. I always find it relaxing taking this MRT + KLIA Express journey to and from the airport. Safe travels too ya!

Can we use Touch n Go directly to board the KLIA transit instead of purchase a ticket?

[@WanderEats]

Hi Kathry... sadly no but you can pay for the ticket with TnG either at the machines or via the KLIA Express app. Most of the time, I use the app as it's easier. I can buy the ticket just as I am arriving at Putrajaya Sentral :)

[@Ash-dw6tv]

Hi, may I know whether the seats in klia transit are free seating, which means I can choose the seat or it is already assigned to us during purchasing of the ticket?

[@WanderEats]

Hey Ash, yes it's free seating and you are free to move around from one carriage to the next to find a seat and space for your luggage if you need one. Happy travels!

[@WanderEats]

Hi Farah.. .you should get off at KLIA Terminal 1 or the first KLIA stop. The last station is KLIA Terminal 2 which is for low cost carriers such as AirAsia. Do have a safe trip and happy travels Farah!

@@thanhnguyentien4059 that would be the Touch n Go card which you can find self-service kiosks at KLIA and KLIA2 terminals. You need to load it with some funds though and upon arrival, I suggest adding RM50 which should last you a few days.

Just wonder, for the ERL, must we book in advance online? Or i can just ride with my touch n go card? If so, will there be any diff of the price?

[@WanderEats]

Yes you could purchase via their app in advance which will most of the time provide promotional rates since they are encouraging usage of their mobile app. Or in my case, I walked up to the station and use the mobile app as well which works too. Only if you are traveling from KL Sentral all the way to KLIA/KLIA2, then perhaps you may want to buy the ticket in advance from their app just in case some time slots are full but that rarely happens to me thus far.

[@hypeddino1913]

Hmm... The people do not make way for the passengers to alight before entering. They enter while others are trying to exit at the same time. This is a very Malaysian thing. I've noticed this also at elevators in Malaysia.

Yes unfortunately it is except for a few station where people actually line up properly such as Pasar Seni and KL Sentral station.

I meant the entire journey for me from Sentul West MRT station. Once again I was kinda unlucky as I entered the Putrajaya Sentral KLIA Transit tracks when the train just left so I had to wait 29mins for the next train.

[@pasyaltayo]

Why 1 hour and 30 Mins. the train is jus 15 mins...

[@WanderEats]

Kumusta Pasyal... The total travel time was calculated based on the MRT as well from the heart of Kuala Lumpur. As for the KLIA Express, yes it is very fast with less than 15mins but it also depends if you get the train the moment you arrive at the platform. There was once when I arrive, the Express train just left so I needed to wait for the next train which is 30mins later.
