KL Monorail at a glance
KL Monorail runs 11 stations, from KL Sentral at one end to Titiwangsa at the other. Its best use is the Bukit Bintang area, plus quick links to KL Sentral. Do not expect it to reach KLCC or the Petronas Twin Towers. None of the 11 stops serves them. For KLCC, use the Kelana Jaya Line LRT or the free GO KL bus covered below.
- Route: KL Sentral to Titiwangsa, 11 stations
- Best for: Bukit Bintang, Imbi and Hang Tuah
- Transfers: KL Sentral, Hang Tuah and Titiwangsa
- Not for: KLCC, Petronas Twin Towers or Batu Caves
Kuala Lumpur monorail stations in order
Stations run in this order from KL Sentral: Tun Sambanthan, Maharajalela, Hang Tuah, Imbi, AirAsia-Bukit Bintang, Raja Chulan, Bukit Nanas, Medan Tuanku, Chow Kit and Titiwangsa. Imbi is station MR5 and has four exits. Exit A leads to Jalan Imbi and Meliá Kuala Lumpur. Exit B has a linkway to Plaza Berjaya. Exits C and D lead to Jalan Imbi and Berjaya Time Square.

Hawkers there set up as the sun goes down, and most stalls stay open until dawn.

Where to transfer
KL Sentral is the busiest hub. It links to KLIA Ekspres, KTM Komuter, the KTM Skypark Link and the Kelana Jaya Line. Read our airport to city guide for the KLIA leg. The monorail itself does not run to the airport. Hang Tuah is the easiest change. It is an interchange with the Ampang and Sri Petaling lines, and the two stations have been physically linked since 2012. You do not exit to switch lines. Merdeka MRT Station (KG17) is not an interchange. It is a 600-metre walk from Hang Tuah. Titiwangsa lists LRT Ampang, LRT Sri Petaling and MRT Putrajaya connections. Walking distance between platforms varies by line, so allow extra time on your first change. Our LRT and MRT guide covers those lines in detail.
Hours, fares and passes
First trains leave Hang Tuah and Imbi at 6:00 am. Last trains from KL Sentral toward Titiwangsa leave at 11:30 pm. Last trains from Titiwangsa toward KL Sentral leave at 11:50 pm. Prices and hours checked November 2026. Single-ride fares are not published here, so see MyRapid for current fares. Visitors from abroad can use the KL Travel Pass, which Tourism Malaysia lists as giving unlimited rides on the Monorail, LRT and MRT. The MyCity Pass offers a day of unlimited travel on the same three systems for locals.
Monorail vs LRT, MRT and the free GO KL bus
Pick by destination, not by mode. The monorail wins for Bukit Bintang, Imbi and Hang Tuah from KL Sentral. For Suria KLCC, take the Kelana Jaya Line from KL Sentral to KLCC Station (KJ10). Suria KLCC opens 10:00 am to 10:00 pm daily. Our free GO KL bus guide covers the Green Line, which runs from Bukit Bintang to KLCC at no charge. Ride-hailing through Grab and InDriver offers a fixed price, while taxi cost varies by starting point.
Merdeka MRT is a 600-metre walk from Hang Tuah and not an interchange, so skip it when you need a quick monorail change.
| Option | Best for | Cost | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| KL Monorail | Bukit Bintang, Imbi, Hang Tuah | Paid; see MyRapid | No stop at KLCC |
| LRT and MRT | KLCC, Merdeka, Titiwangsa links | Paid; included in KL Travel Pass | Longer walks at some interchanges |
| GO KL free bus | Bukit Bintang to KLCC on the Green Line | Free | Road traffic |
| Walking | Hang Tuah to LaLaport BBCC | Free | Heat and rain |
| Ride-hail | Luggage and late nights | Fixed price on Grab and InDriver | Pickup point varies |
Who should ride the monorail, and who should skip it
Ride it if you stay near Bukit Bintang or Imbi and arrive through KL Sentral. Skip it for KLCC and Batu Caves. For Batu Caves, take the KTM Komuter and get off at Batu Caves station, then walk about 5 minutes. The U6 bus from Titiwangsa Bus Terminal is the alternative. Heavy bags are easier at Imbi, where stairways, escalators and elevators link all three levels. Hang Tuah is reached by stairways and escalators, and its page also lists lifts for disabled passengers. Neither station has parking.
Last trains from Titiwangsa toward KL Sentral leave at 11:50 pm, so plan a heavy-bag trip from the north with time to spare.
- Mistake: assuming the monorail reaches KLCC. Use the Kelana Jaya Line instead.
- Mistake: mixing up station names. The monorail stop is AirAsia-Bukit Bintang.
- Mistake: choosing the wrong Hang Tuah entrance. Entrance D is the one for Bukit Bintang City Centre and LaLaport.
- Mistake: planning a late return from the north. Last trains toward KL Sentral leave Titiwangsa at 11:50 pm.
