As we all in Kuala Lumpur know, the Indian Prime Minister's visit is well over, but the one-way traffic system that came with the redevelopment of Brickfields' main street is still with us. How long it will seems to be up for debate.
According to an article in the New Straits Times online, this system is meant to last till 29 October. However, a later article in The Star online paints it as permanent.
Now obviously, the myriad of bus routes plying through Jalan Tun Sambanthan next to KL Sentral would also be affected. Basically, it looks like the buses heading towards Kuala Lumpur stay the same on Jln Tun Sambanthan. The buses heading away from KL though (towards Petaling Jaya, Puchong, Subang, Shah Alam, Old Klang Road, Kota Damansara etc) would be re-routed through Jln Sultan Abdul Samad.
This has been reflected in the RapidKL website, which also gives one the impression that this traffic system is here to stay.
How does the re-routing affect the buses stopping at KL Sentral station itself though? First off, if you want to take any bus from KL Sentral to the western areas mentioned above, specifically RapidKL Buses U60, U63, U64, U65, U66, U67, U68, U69, U70, U71, U72, U73, U74, U75, U80, U81, U84, U85, U87 and U88, instead of waiting on Jalan Tun Sambanthan, wait at Esso the petrol station opposite Public Bank. This is just after where the buses re-route into Jalan Tun Sambanthan 4 to head into Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad.

Therefore, the terminals for RapidKL buses U82 and U83 towards Bandar Utama and Jalan Duta respectively, remain in KL Sentral station (at ground level next to where the Skybuses depart from).
