The Klang Bus Station! Klang Sentral! What Happened?
Recently I went back a little bit late from Kuala Lumpur and there is no bus directly back to Port Klang. So I have to take a bus to Klang first and from there I’m supposed to take a bus back to Port Klang. It was 9 pm from Kuala Lumpur and I reached Klang around 9.45 pm. There are no Port Klang bus sighted. Actually this is not the first time it happened to me and now I’m really sick of this situation and I think I need to blog about it this time.
So, the only bus there was the buses to Banting and there are a lot of taxi around and some people that act like a taxi. This happened because they know that there won’t be any bus around at that time and they’re taking advantage of that situation. I’m not blaming them because they are trying to make a living and they do help you (in a way) rather than you don’t have any transport back home, right?
The problem is, what happened to all the Port Klang buses that was there before all this Klang Sentral issues happened? Since the time that they try to change the main bus station to Klang Sentral, all the buses seems missing. Last time it use to have, sometimes 2 Port Klang buses at one time and normally the last bus will be around 10.30 pm up until 11 pm. Now, even when I reached there around 9.45 pm, there’s no bus around.
I have friend that took bus from Klang Sentral to Kuala Lumpur and he told me that there is no bus going to Port Klang from Klang Sentral and that makes me even more confused. Where should I get a Port Klang bus? The answer is the old Klang bus station but the bus will be there until 9.30 pm, maybe? What happened to the people that just got back from work around Klang town itself? The Mydin workers, the Shaw Centerpoint?
I just hope that the authoritize or the government take some action on this matter. I’m supporting the changes of the new Klang Sentral station at Jalan Meru although it will be troublesome for me but I understand that we need to have some development that might benefit the future of Klang residences, but not until this kind of thing happened.
Most of the time I will have to call someone from my parent’s house if my wife is working to fetch me in Klang. Once I have to take a taxi and it cost me RM15, luckily I shared the cost with someone I always take the bus to Port Klang with. Just imagine that I have to pay RM7.50 for a RM1 journey.
Hope that the local authority or the government can resolve this matter as soon as possible.
P/S: It is confirmed that the last bus to Port. Klang from Klang for CityLiner is around 9.15 pm as the CityLiner “supervisor” or whatever that they are called told me that they only have bus to Port. Klang until 9.15 pm the most.

Well Malaysian Public Transport service isn’t something to be surprised about by anyone residing in Malaysia nor those residing externally and still reading and feeling irritated by the idiotic Civil Servant’s hired by Government to plan and execute a good system instead they screw it up so badly…that it cannot be undone by anybody…
First before we look into public transportation issues. We need to plan a city with a strategic placement of offices and all those new township’s created and road routes in multiples instead relying on one single road for past 30 years and for future – we expand the roads into 2 lanes to 3 lanes which actually gives no benefit in anyway. It will only lead towards huge congestion – thanks to the traffic light and invisible traffic policemen whom is only at work in the morning but in evening, lols nobody is around but most in teh tarik shop (tea shop). First, we require good governance and planning in creating township
1.Alternate Road Routes without toll (Use our tax money)
2.Create more diversions
3.Increase public transportation (KTM-LRT-BUS or any available transport)
4.No Heavy vehicles allowed in city centre nor peak hours morning and evening
5.Create more public awareness by restricting rules and regulations
6.Avoid building more traffic lights instead use Round a bout
7.Avoid residential area closer to industrial zone
We always have an option, as this will lead towards a healthy living for future and coming generation will be human friendly than leading a machine life. Eventually we need to learn and adapt to be more civic minded stricter rules and amendments. In current situation we are so prone to traffic lights, which is another factor for heavy traffic to occur. We can opt to reduce traffic lights and create more Round a bout instead having something or someone to POLICE us like school kids…I’ve no idea when either educated people nor uneducated people is gona learn to be more patient on the road…Perhaps in 50 years to come…lols…

Totally agreed. Some good ideas as well.
We should have more public transport such as LRT.
Before I don’t only have problem with bus services but Komuter as well.
The first few months when I work in KL I took Komuter to work and back but I always got some technical problem excuses from them.
So I stopped using Komuter. Until now the same problem still exist.
Anyway, I just hope in the future there will be a better services for all the public transport in Malaysia.
Thanks for the comment.

I am a visitor hear from Australia, but visit friends at least once a year. This year I was pleased to see the new CityLiner buses. But confused with this situation in Klang. I have yet to go to the Klang Sentral. It now seems to me the buses have been thrown out of the old bus station and they park wherever they can. The E4 express to KL seems to be very infrequent to what it used to be.
The last bus to Taman Sentosa is listed at finishing at 7.30PM, my friends don’t believe this but then they never catch a bus. From last year Klang is a complete mess with all the construction.
KL not much better. Last Friday night I went to Pasar Seni for a Klang bus, this was just after 10PM. There was no Warasan 99 so I asked at the “Information Desk” and was told to go and sit down and wait. I felt like a little school boy. I waited so long and finally went to Sentral and caught the train. That’s another story.

I know how it feels as I experinced it a few times. To me it is better that you take the train at KL Sentral if it is pass 9pm. It is much safer as well that way.
Couldn’t believe that you have to experince it as well. Lucky that you know the public transport in Klang Valley quite a bit.
Hope that they will improve it soon…
Anyway, thank you for your comment.
