Named after Malaysia’s first prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra, Putrajaya was built to avoid the national capital of Kuala Lumpur from being overcrowded. This third Federal Territory of the country was planned to be the federal administrative centre for Malaysia which was shifted in 1999. Putrajaya is most known as a part of the special economic zone of MSC Malaysia and has been growing ever since. Located 25 KM south of KL, Putrajaya Sentral Bus Terminal has been acting as the main transportation center travelling in and out of the territory. This bus station has been in operation since 2002 and proved to be great for the people around Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, Dengkil and Sepang. Easybook has been allowing your travels to be easier now as you can now book your tickets online with us without having to go through the hassle of queuing up at the counter.

The train departs every 30 minutes from KL Sentral with the first train departing at 5:33 AM with the last one leaving at 12:03 AM. It will cost you RM14 per way and RM6.30 for children aged 2 to 12 years old.
On a budget? Taking the bus is your best option as it is RM4 per way. All you need to do is take the E1 bus from the back of Mydin supermarket at Jalan Tun Perak, which is located right opposite the enormous Menara Maybank that you would not miss. As with Kuala Lumpur traffic, travel time take from 30 minutes to an hour, so it is best to plan ahead when you are leaving the city center to Putrajaya Sentral Bus Terminal.
