  • 1.  Share Travel from Airport?

    Posted 07-15-2019 13:44

    Looking for travel buddy from airport on night of July 21. Flight arrives close to midnight and would like to not travel alone.

    Anyone in the same boat? Is there a travel-share document created?

    Name is Iara Lacher, email at LacherI@si.edu

    ~Thanks!

    Hi Lara

    Kuala Lumpur is a very safe city to travel in even late at night and for single travelers.  If you are staying in the downtown area the KLIA Express is a modern fast well lit train from the airport to KL Sentral that costs 55 RMB.  From there you can get a taxi or download the Grab rideshare app and call a ride to your hotel or guesthouse.  So if you cannot find a travel buddy these should be alternative safe ways to get to your destination.

    Cheers
    Tony
