Using State train system is an excellent way to get around in Malaysia. Using the train is much better in terms of security, comfort level and fare as compared to using bus service. 

However, using bus services is the second best way of getting around in Malaysia if you don’t want to use the train. Various private bus services operate in the country regularly in each town of the country. Konsortium Transnational Berhad is the biggest bus operator in Malaysia. Although each town has a bus terminal however it’s a good idea to book the bus service in advance to avoid possible delay and related frustration. Kuala Lumpur has two main international gateways in Peninsular Malaysia, while many domestic and international flights operate regularly in Penang and Langkawi.
