July is also the Ramadan month observed by Muslims by way of fasting from dawn to dusk. Visit the Bazar Ramadan stalls and be amazed by the array of food prepared for the breaking of the fast each evening.....have a lot of exciting journey in Bukit Bintang. Kuala Lumpur.
ReplyDeleteThe Government introduced Go - KL City Bus in last 2 years ago (20120, a FREE bus service which is welcome news for both visitors and residents of Kuala Lumpur from KLCC to Bukit Bintang and other places.
ReplyDeleteComfortable, air-conditioned, pink coloured single-decker buses now cruise two circular routes covering many of the main sight-seeing attractions in the heart of the city.
The buses, which are disabled-friendly, run at 5 minute intervals at peak periods and every 15 minutes at other times.
They operate from 6am until 11pm.
There are two routes; Green Route and Purple Route, each around 7km in length.
I have plotted the routes onto this Google map so that you can get your bearings. The routes overlap at 5 bus stops where passengers can switch from one route to the other if needed.
