Facilities at Hentian Puduraya

There are two information counters and a Police booth on the ground floor. The Genting Highlands taxi stand is still there on the first level of the car park. Resort World’s coach to Genting Highlands and Star Shuttle bus to LCCT airport operate from Puduraya as well.

Parking rate for the multi-level car park is RM3.00 for the first hour and RM2.00 for every subsequent hour. Grace period is 15 minutes.

Puduraya Hotel above the terminal is also being refurbished and now renamed to Ancasa Express Hotel. With Puduraya’s re-opening, the Bukit Jalil Temporary Bus Terminal is now closed. Puduraya will handle northbound inter-city and express buses. Many of the buses here will also use Hentian Duta as a secondary station where passengers can also board and disembark. The hastily built (temporary) Terminal Bas Jalan Hang Tuah in front of IPK KL will become a bus holding area.

On 27th August 2011, Puduraya was renamed Pudu Sentral.

How to get to Pudu Sentral (Puduraya)

Pudu Sentral is situated along Jalan Pudu, near Chinatown (and the popular Petaling Street). Each taxi driver will know where to find the bus station, but you could make use of public transport to get there. Rapid KL Plaza Rakyat metro station lies opposite Pudu Sentral.

There is a taxi counter at the bus station, where you can buy a taxi ticket for fixed prices (similar to KL Sentral where you also have a fixed price taxi counter) which is a real improvement compared to the times where you had to haggle for ages to get a decent price. If you persist on getting a taxi that drives on the meter you are better off stopping a taxi along the road once you have crossed Jalan Pudu via the pedestrian bridge.
