Background

In September 2012, the Government introduced Go KL City Bus, a convenient FREE bus service for both visitors and residents of Kuala Lumpur. Originally with two routes, the network was expanded in May 2014 with the addition of a further two routes and a fifth Orange Route was added in 2019. Since then, a further six routes have been added (Pink, Turquoise, Maroon, Chocolate, Parrot-Green and Grey) but since these are mostly feeder routes serving high density public housing projects, tourists need only concern themselves with the four original routes detailed below covering the main tourist areas.

Comfortable, air-conditioned, pink coloured single-decker buses with FREE WiFi cruise circular routes covering many of the main sight-seeing attractions in the heart of the city.

The buses, which are disabled-friendly and eco-friendly (powered by compressed natural gas) run at 5 minute intervals at peak periods (weekdays 7-10am and 4-8pm) and every 10 minutes at other times.

They operate from 6am until 11pm daily.

Below are details of the first five Go - KL City Bus routes; Green Route with 14 stops, Purple Route with 15 stops, Red Route with 19 stops, Blue Route with 17 stops and Orange Route with 24 stops totalling 89 stops between them.

No Longer Free for Foreigners

From 1 January 2024 onwards, foreigners have to pay RM 1 per ride.  Payment can be made by using Touch n Go or credit and debit cards.  Malaysians using MyKad with the Touch n Go feature need to register at DBKL registration counters in order to continue to enjoy the free rides. Non-citizen children aged 12 and under can still enjoy free rides.

Tip For Travelling On Go KL City Bus

Being a free service means that the buses can get very busy especially at peak hours. Around 85% of the users are estimated to be Malaysians travelling to and from work. If you are a tourist it is better to avoid the rush hour crush and travel at off-peak hours.
