 | First off, we should make clear that the facilitators of this site are also the publishers of bastrenKL -- KL's first integrated public transport map guide. As far as possible, we'll try to take the perspective of the average KL public transport user in the writing of this news piece however :-)
The fact in any case is that, there is being printed 40,000 copies of bastrenKL, a map guide which depicts routes for all forms of public transport in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley... yes, not just RapidKL! :-)
Is it really the first? As far as we know, there have been 2 other similar exercises: one done by DBKL (sold for RM5) but that was very schematic, and another called Walkabout, published by Malaysia-on-Call, which mainly shows bus tables. So if you've been waiting to see a fully integrated and to scale map of all public transport services in the Klang Valley (as they commonly have in most other cities), check bastrenKL out! | | | |

In 2006, the country's biggest urban public transport operator, Rangkaian Pengangkutan Integrasi Deras (RapidKL) conducted an overall revamp on its bus network which introduced dramatic changes to many of the bus routes in Klang Valley.
From a network that mostly comprised buses running between suburban centres and the city centre, the network was cut up into a more flexible network made up of City Shuttles, limited-stop Trunk Lines, Local Feeders ferrying passengers from hubs into various neighbourhoods as well as the point-to-point Express services.City shuttles
To minimize congestion and maximize efficiency of bus services within the city, only city shuttles ply within the city centre perimeter. These city shuttles circulate between the various city hubs, namely, the city centre terminal which is maintained at Medan Pasar, the northern terminal at Titiwangsa, the eastern terminal at KLCC, the south-western terminal at KL Sentral and the south-eastern terminal at Maluri.
These hubs also act as interchanges for buses from outside the city centre. This way, traffic from outside the city centre is spread out between the four terminals along the city perimeter, namely Titiwangsa, Maluri, KL Sentral and KLCC.
