Public Transportation to Putrajaya	Top
For those travelling on your own using public transportation, use an Express Rail Link service called KLIA Transit to get down at Putrajaya station at Precinct 7. Near this station is Putrajaya main bus terminal called Putrajaya Sentral. Its main bus company is called Nadi Putra. The bus fare is cheap. It is the same at RM0.50 throughout the whole of Putrajaya. I have some of the bus numbers and their drop points which I will give some other time elsewhere. For those who want to go to Cyberjaya and some other places near Putrajaya using public transportation, RapidKL can be taken from Putrajaya Sentral. RapidKL does not have may routes from Putrajaya Sentral. As Putrajaya has very few hotels, tourists who want to stay in cheaper hotels are encourage to stay either in KL, towns in Selangor which have public transport to Putrajaya or Seremban where tourists can take Rawang-Seremban KTM Komuter.
