Bukit Bintang to Batu Caves MRT KTM Train
How to go by Rail
If you want to get from Bukit Bintang to Batu Caves, the best way to travel is to take the MRT train to Pasar Seni station, then take the short walk to Kuala Lumpur old railway station to catch a KTM Komuter train to the doorstep of the Batu Caves complex.
If you search for how to get to Batu Caves from Bukit Bintang, most answers will tell you to take the MRT or Monorail train to KL Sentral station, then take the KTM Komuter (commuter) from there to Batu Caves.
However, since November 2019, there was a new link bridge opened up from Pasar Seni MRT/LRT station to the KTM Kuala Lumpur old station.
This now makes it the best, quickest and cheapest route to take.
