Sister highly-recommended the KLIA Ekspres, which costs RM35/pax. It is a comfortable 28min ride into the city, no traffic jam. Sounds great, except the city is not our final destination.
Possible routes
1)
Airport to KL Sentral via KLIA Ekspress
-> KL Sentral to Raja Chulan via Monorail
-> Raja Chulan to apartment via Taxi
3 modes of transport. Not appealing at all, considering that we will be lugging 2 trolley bags, 1 wheelchair and 1 senior citizen who cannot walk much.
2)
Airport to KL Sentral via KLIA Ekspress
-> KL Sentral to apartment via Taxi
3)
Airport to apartment via Taxi
I was unable to find any confirmation that KL Sentral's KLIA Ekspress and Monorail stations are linked. Or whether there exists barrier-free access out of the station, in case they are not linked, or we opt for Route 2. The KL Sentral website is damn irritating can? There is no barrier-free access information, but investor information aplenty!
| The very "helpful" FAQ, with questions that 99% of the visitors will not ask |
| The very informative description of the ERL. |
Disability and accesss-related information from KLIA Ekspress.
Fair enough. But still doesn't answer my question. Talk about fares, but never talk about accessibility! And ask you to make your own arrangements! I understand where they are coming from, but feels like they are skirting the question. Is this a hint that if the station is NOT accessible, they have absolved themselves from any form of assistance? At least now I am assured that I should not have expectation in this aspect anymore.
I tell you, KL is the only city with such a lousy website!!! Either the navigation is really bad, or they are really more interested in investors than their primary service - commuting! Check out other countries.

Checked with my Airbnb host, who also recommended taxi. Somehow, I thought he should not refer to the apartment's proximity to Raja Chulan station as a selling point... hahaha. Since the locals don't heart their public transport also.
