== Hitchhiking out ==
=== South towards [[Singapore]], [[Melaka]] ===
There is a big toll gate south of the city which is an excellent hitchhiking place, but not too easy to reach.
=== North towards [[Mrkonjic-Grad]] or [[Banja Luka]], [[Croatia]] ([[Osijek]])First, [[Hungary]] ===To hitch north take tram #3 towards the southern outskirts of the town [[Ilidza]]LRT to ''Sungai Besi''. The fare is 1.70 RM (July 2012). From there you have to walk south along the main road north is marked with a sign towards Mostar and [[Zenica]]. Show You have to cross the tram driver Zenica rail tracks on a map your right, either by jumping the fences, which is illegal and hesomewhat dangerous (it'll tell s a high speed train line) or you can use the bridge which stop to get off onis quite a walk. You<sup>[''in which direction?''ll ]</sup>Walk further south, you will see an overpass that looks like a freeway McDonalds on-ramp. Get up on that road your right and then walk north about 1km past a grocery store on little neighbourhood. The south end of the neighbourhood is rightnext to the toll gate. The motorway is elevated here, but there is a little hill with a little footpath that leads to a hole in the fence exactly at the parking place behind the toll gate from where you can start to hitch. That will get It'll take you past much of about 45 minutes to walk from the inner-city traffic and LRT station. There is probably a bus that stops a little closer to places with more open area for cars to stopthe toll gate.
Second advice: take bus #23 It's very possible to the last stop, ''Rajlovac''. It gets you on the main road out of town, too, but get a bit more north than tram #3. You then nearly don't have direct lift to walkSingapore from this place.
Road If you don't fancy a long walk or dicing with death/police by crossing rail tracks - this is a somewhat easier option. Take the LTR in the direction of Seremban and motorway numbers change often alight at Serdang. Once you exit the station turn left, and/cross the busy carriageway over the footbridge. From here you could ask a taxi to take you to the toll station, or are not posted along walk two minutes in the direction of traffic to the wayflyover. It might seem a little nervy at first, so once you get out of townbut the traffic is slowing up the hill and into the bend, and there's more than enough room just before the apex for vehicles to pull in. You're not quite on the right road yet for Singapore - but a sign saying highway E2 will get to Mrkonjicyou a ride in no time -Grad and Banja Luka, head towards Travnik, then Jajcemost probably dropped at the next toll station south. For Pecs, towards [[TuzlaUser:Looking for Stu|Looking for Stu]]was picked up in five minutes here with a Singapore sign and taken to the highway.
Note from [[User:nalddo|Nalddo]]: ''If you use Another save option and only a five minute walk is to take the LTR (metro/train) to the spot same stop as mentioned above: Serdang (In total 10 RM from Petronas Towers area, March 2020). Exit the train station through the gates. Than take the walking bridge that leads you will first have to hitch the other side of the rails, to a junction North playground on the opposite of town where the road splits in twotrainstation. You can get to this junction directlyalready see the highway E2 from the bridge, walk straight in the direction of the highway until you can't go further. From downtown, take bus 21 Walk about 100 meters to the last stop, in Vogoscaright and you'll find a small stairs where you can enter a rest station (R&R Serdang) at the E2 highway. From there, continue walking you should easily get a few minutes on ride in the road until you reach a bridgedirection of Melaka. This is where It's also the road M18 right highway to Singapore. There are a couple of restaurants and toilets. In 2020 [[TuzlaUser:Worldhitchhiker|Worldhitchhiker]] did this and motorway A1 walked to [[Zenica]] split. You can thumb easily to either direction. To hitch on the entrance of the highway(at the end of the rest area). Within five minutes three cars stopped, I recommend walking a few more minutes to reach the toll station''third car took him in the direction of Melaka.
This advice from Nalddo is very good, we used === North towards [[Thailand]] ===There are three places which you should consider in May,2013. When you go order to get out on last bus station you just walk of the city towards north pass petrol .==== Option 1 ====The first one is a Shell gas station on right sidebehind the toll gate (I ask on petrol station and staff told me that we can hitchhike there but it is best place after bridge on junction on right side and we catch ride thereat the Plaza tol Jalan Duta). If you are going In order to Tuzla like we did, get there is no pay toll, so when you come to junction just hitchhike on right side can take the KTM commuter train and this is way to Tuzla you can not miss itget off at the ''Segambut'' station. If you need to go to Zenica, than you need to go left on junctionFrom there, walk a few minutes follow sign for Zenica and than come to pay tolls and hitchhike thereabout 1. [[File:File5km south on the highway.png|200px|thumb|left|hitchhiking from Sarajevo Unfortunately it's very easy to Tuzla get lost in this area, in the middle of several highways, large roads, huge concrete bridges, and Zenicaexchanges, with very few, useless road signs.png]]Choose this option only if you have a GPS with you.==== Option 2 ====[[File:Sarajevo_t0ma5The other place you can consider is a toll gate near the KTM station Sungai Buloh.JPG|200px|thumb|right|t0ma5 hitchhiking out of Sarajevo]]
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 you are trying to get to. 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 the fence to get over then continue walking. You will come to an over bridge where you can walk along to the right which will put you on the road to the toll gate. Walk along the side of road towards the toll gate, walk past it, 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 ==== Southwest towards [[Mostar]]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 at 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, [[Croatia]] because you'll have to deal with short and indirect lifts until you get to Tapah ([[Dubrovnik]]about 100km north of Rawang) {{E|73}}, M-17 ===but it's not a bad option, hitchhiking on that road is very easy.
From A very good option from the city centre, Rawang stop is to take tram three in the direction Ilidzaroughly 20 minute walk to the main North-South highway. After about 15 minutes, Once you get off at the stop station, walk south along the main road (Jalan Rawang) and follow the off ramp on the right after a small group side of petrol stations located the road (traffic should be flowing in the opposite direction) up to your left Jalan Batu Arang. Follow this road, and take the rightat the first lights onto Jalan Kuala Garing. There is Follow this road until you reach the second fork, and take a bus stop here where you can stop left (the road should be a carrelatively unused, beat-up path). You should see the highway ahead, and as within 200 meters this road will take you through a narrow tunnel under the motorway. If it is just after doesn't, you probably took a stoplight cars left at the wrong fork. After the tunnel, turn right and walk until you see the rest area...you will have to hop over the low barrier to get to the rest area. There, you will not be going very fastfind a gas station, Starbucks, a hotel and other facilities... Because of the large amount of suburban trafficand most importantly, using many cars heading North. Hitching a sign ride from there is recommendedvery quick and easy.
Another way to get Mostar. Actual for March 2015. Take the tram to Ilidža and go until the last stop. From there every 30-50 min you can take a bus to Hadžići direction. Then everything depends from your hitchhiking passion and the bus routes:) Price for any distance is the same: 1.60 KM. You can leave your bus at Hadžići and hitchhike along M17/E73 towards A1 and then === East towards Mostar. Otherwise if bus is going to Tarčin, you can go by bus as much as you can, pass Tarčin Kuantan and leave the bus on the road near Donja Raselica. So you will meet no suburban Sarajevo traffic. There will be the way to Mostar.Kota Bharu===
=== East towards [[Serbia]] {{E|761}} ===Now you wanna get yourself to E8 which takes you to Bentong and then either to Kota Bharu or Kuantan. To do this take the KTM to Batu Caves and start walking east along road 28, you could either keep on walking east along road 28 until you reach the McD and Petronas station 3km away or you can make a sign that says Petronas or petrol station and hitch along road 28. Once you get to the McD you will get a ride within 5 minutes
To go east take the tram to Baščaršija and you will see the road which seems to go into the hills along the river. Before the river makes a sharp turn right, is a nice spot opposite a petrol station and the Haris Youthhostel on Bentbaša Street 11== Sleep ==
=== Southeast Sleeping on the streets, while not necessarily suggested, is entirely possible with no problems. Find a closed business or Monorel station and lay down for the night. This might not work in areas such as the Golden Triangle, but is viable in other areas. Simply be aware of the traffic. Choose a good area and you should be safe. Good places include near the ''river'' in Chinatown behind some buildings is a rather secluded area, the large area of parks (Deer Park, Hibiscus Park, Orchid Park - also good for stashing your things) close to the National Mosque west of Chinatown for being close to downtown. Outside the gates of the Batu Caves looking at the highway, turn right. You are heading toward [[Montenegro]] ===the Monorel station. Once you reach a T-intersection, to your right are a series of benches with cover perfect for sleeping if you are on your way out of the city.
There are two options:== Getting around ==Kuala Lumpur is a relatively small city and is perfectly walkable. Just make sure to not get lost.
The first one: Walk Kuala Lumpur has a fairly decent public transportation system comprised of trains and buses. You can get from Bačaršija KL Sentral to the street Garaplina that goes uphill. At the end any major area of Garaplina, there will be a traffic light. This is the intersection with Mladih Muslimana street, which is leaving the city in the direction of Montenegro. Hitch at the traffic light or The trains run from the petrol station 50 m further down the roadaround 5AM to midnight.
Go in the direction Trnovo and Foća, avoid Goražde because there There is not much traffic therean entirely free system of buses known as GoKL ([http://www.gokl.com.my/]). At border with Montenegro on Hum crossing there are not many carsThese purple buses go to various malls and tourist attractions, but you can catch ride there and road successfully be used to border is very bad, full traverse the majority of holes. (Ask drivers on the border)city.
Second option: If you want to go direction Trnovo and Foća from Bačaršija you can take the tram #3, #4 or #6 (you can take this tram illegaly for free) towards the southern outskirts of the town [[Ilidza]], and you go out in Stup. Climb to the big road crossing the avenue and you follow it to the right (M18 direction Foća, South). After few meters the road has only one lane in each direction. There are some wide parts of the road good for hicthhiking, but a bit later there is a petrol station where you can ask the drivers, if you prefer.== Stashing ==
At KL Sentral there are many lockers available for use. There are two different kinds - the ones near the escalator toward the exit, close to the bathrooms and those on the way to the departure gate for the KL Ekspres to the airport near the escalator heading toward the mall. The lockers toward KL Ekspres are MYR 2 for 24 hours, including overnight, and MYR 2 for every hour over 24 hours. The lockers near the bathroom range in price from MYR 5 to 20 and do not allow for overnight storage.
The parks to the west of Chinatown are potentially good for stashing things in bushes or trees.
