Your journey to and from the airport to the respective bus station may vary. However, the standard travel time is approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Teksi 3. Taxi Taxis are not exactly known to have a good reputation in Malaysia. Most locals avoid using taxis due to their high rates and non-standardized usage of meter and tracking. Hence taxis are not a very popular mode of transportation, but if passengers have no other choice, it is advisable to ask the driver beforehand if they can use the provided meter to get to a specific destination. Fare: RM3 for first 1KM, RM0.20 for subsequent 150 Meters Durations: 1-2 Hours (Varies on both location and traffic) 4. E-hailing service Now one of the most popular mode of transportation in Malaysia, the E-hailing service has caught the attention of both locals and visitors due to its high reliability and access through its user friendly mobile app, making it one of the fastest ways to get to a specific destination provided that the traffic is smooth. One of the best reasons to use the E-hailing service is the transparent and fixed fares made clear even before you make a booking. Passengers are also covered with accident insurance the moment they enter a car provided through the E-hailing service. 7

A Night Market is a combination of petty NIGHT LIFE entrepreneurs’ temporary outdoor stalls where goods are displayed for sale. The night markets’ friendly and easygoing attitude allowed guests to enjoy the diversified setting, as well as a broad variety of freshly cooked food and fresh vegetables at reasonable costs. Local members of various ethnic origins interacting and mixing could help to enhance community spirit and cohesion. The atmosphere, the look, the aroma, the sound, and the cuisine were all qualities that encouraged people to return. For the residents, visiting the night market had become a popular pastime. You’d walk from one end of the night market to the other, stopping to look at the wares, greeting some friends along the way, acknowledging the traders, asking for product pricing, bargaining for reductions, and then either buying or walking away. The Malaysian night market was formed on the idea of open-air shopping, in which street hawkers or petty traders set up their stalls in a designated area of a street. From early evening to late at night, the selected street, which is ordinarily busy during the day, would be blocked to traffic. As far as the eye could see, the area would be turned into a network of stalls with a kaleidoscope of different colour lights. The night markets highlighted a part of Malaysia’s unique culture, as they depicted the dining habits, social routines, and nighttime leisure activities of the country’s diverse ethnic groups. Night markets, known in Malay as “Pasar Malam,” have become Nighta staple of the Malaysian shopping scene. Then, a night market was characterised as a trading place open late at night where tiny companies sold a variety of affordable goods and cooked food. InKL 4479
