=== North towards [[Thailand]] ===

There are ~~two~~ three places which you should consider in order to get out of the city towards north.

==== Option 1 ====

~~Probably the best~~ The first one is a Shell gas station right behind the toll gate (it is at the Plaza tol Jalan Duta). In order to get there, you can take the KTM commuter train and get off at the ''Segambut'' station. From there, walk about 1.5km south on the highway. ~~Testimony : Ok I personally tried this "Option 1" and I had such a miserable day, walking in every directions, totally lost under the sunlight by 30°C. I don't recommend~~ Unfortunately it ~~at all and I~~'~~ll explain why. First, I went~~ s very easy to ~~that KTM train station "Segambut"~~get lost in this area, ~~I just found myself~~ in the middle of several highways, large roads, huge concrete bridges, exchangers, with very few and useless road signs, where it's just impossible to have any clue about directions. I walked around, following several main roads with no idea about the right direction. I came back to the KTM station and talked with several people, all told me that the so called "Plaza tol Jalan Duta" is much, much, farther than 1.5km (6?, 7?, 8?). ~~I got back into the train, same line, went to the last station called "Rawang" for a couple of extra Ringgit (less than 1$). Then I arrived to~~ Choose this town that is not on the highway but I found another road going north (toward: Tapah, Ipoh, Cameron Highlands, Penang, Thailand border, etc.). That was not the perfect way to head north but I finally got to my destination. If option only if you have ~~an other option, please forget about this one (especially do NOT stop at Segambut station...)~~a GPS with you.

==== Option 2 ====

The other place you can consider is a toll gate near the KTM station Sungai Buloh.

Get off the KTM commuter train at ''Sungai Buloh'', walk down the stairs and you will come to a motorway. Turn and walk left then walk across the overpass to the other side of the motorway. If you are facing the train station you just came from, then walk right along the side of motorway. initially you will walk under a motorway bridge, keep walking straight along the side of the motorway. It will get quite narrow but walk on the inside of the barrier. to your right you will see a flood water and then the toll booth where you are trying to get too. continue walking straight, you will come to a plant nursery on the side of the road go through the gates but keep walking in the same direction as before. you will come to a small pipe opening with water. you can easily climb and jump fence to get over then continue walking you will come to an over bridge where you can walk long to the right which will put you on the road to the toll. Walk along the side of road towards the toll, walk past the toll, run across to the other side and be sure to stand on the shoulder of the lane heading straight through which is the " labuan besar utara selatan"(big road from north/south)

==== Option 3 ====

Take the KTM train heading north and get off at the last station called "Rawang", for just a couple of Ringgit (about 1$). You'll arrive to this town "Rawang" that is not on the highway but you can reach very easily, just a short 5 minutes walk, another main road going north (toward: Tapah, Ipoh, Cameron Highlands, Penang, Thailand border, etc.). That is probably not the perfect way to head north if you are in a rush, cause you'll have to deal with short and indirect lifts until you get to Tapah (about 100km north of Rawang), but it's not a bad option, hitchhiking on that road is very easy.
