How to get here Airport Transfer City Transport Sunway Canopy Walk The most convenient way to travel from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) would be by taxi. A less expensive alternative would be the KLIA Ekspres train service, which makes a direct journey to KL Sentral in 28 minutes. KL Sentral is the country’s largest transit hub and is home to an integrated rail transportation centre. The nearest Light Rapid Transit (LRT) stop to Monash University Malaysia is the USJ7 station, near the Sunway BRT station of the same name. The LRT will connect you to many places in and around Greater Kuala Lumpur, including Petaling Jaya, KL Sentral, the Petronas Twin Towers, and other parts of the Kuala Lumpur central business district. This elevated walkway connects our campus to the Sunway Pyramid shopping mall. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk from the main campus gate to the mall’s side entrance. The Canopy Walk is open daily from 7am to 12 midnight (except on public holidays) and monitored by close-circuit television cameras. From KL Sentral Take the KTM train (available at KL Sentral) and alight at the Setia Jaya station. Once there, look for the Sunway Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station and board the electric bus. Alight at the Sun-U Monash BRT station, where our campus is located. Buses on the Sunway BRT system operate on a five-minute interval from 6am to 12midnight daily. Within Sunway City The Sunway BRT electric bus service will take you to key locations including healthcare (Sunway Medical Centre), retail (Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall), recreation (Sunway Lagoon), restaurants and cafes (Sunway Mentari), education (Monash University and Sunway University), private residences (South Quay), and walking distance to city train services interchange (from BRT to KTM and LRT trains). Parking If you’re driving to campus, there are several parking facilities available. The Eastern Carpark is free on a first-come-first-served basis while the Western Car Park is pay-per-entry. You can also opt to park at BRT Sunway Park N’ Ride on an hourly rate or pre-paid season pass. DID YOU KNOW?
