Remarks: Relocation express bus services from Pudu Raya to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) effective from 1st Nov 2015.
Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia, it is also the major hub of transportation in Malaysia. Pudu Raya (or Pudu Sentral) used to be only Kuala Lumpur main bus terminal serving all Malaysia express bus companies, however, due to massive traffic and growing number of commuters in Pudu Raya (or Pudu Sentral), the authority has then changed Pudu Raya (or Pudu Sentral) to serve only north-bound buses in order to ease the traffic congestion in the city. As for south bound buses (Destination like Melaka, Johor Bahru, Singapore), they are now served by TBS bus terminal in Bandar Tasik Selatan located at the south of the Kuala Lumpur city. With the recent closure of Pudu Sentral, TBS bus terminal has become the main express bus transportation hub in Kuala Lumpur serving all Malaysia express bus companies
Other than Pudu Raya (or Pudu Sentral) and TBS, there are another 2 bus stations, Hentian Pekeliling and Putra Bus Terminal, which are mainly to serve the eastern coastal travellers.
