So you've seen the Rapid KL and Metro buses around college but you're not sure how much they cost and where they go.
The two main Rapid KL buses that pass by the routes around Main Block and KPD are T634 and U82.
U82: (first & last stop) KL Sentral - 1Utama (first & last stop)
The nearest stop around HELP (KPD): The one opposite Subway goes down to KL Sentral. If you cross over the bridge to the other opposite one, you will head to 1Utama.
The nearest stop around HELP (Main Block): The stop opposite Guardian (above DSA) goes to 1Utama. The stop next to Shell station opposite the main car park goes down to KL Sentral.
Take this route if you're heading to areas like DU, Desa Kiara, DJ, TTDI and Kepong (transition at 1U).
T634: (first & last stop) Bangsar LRT - Pusat Bandar Damansara (first & last stop)
This bus stops right outside KPD A, Fitness First (next to KPD E/ HP tower) and KFC (Main Block). Taking this bus would take you straight to Bangsar LRT.
For more bus routes, please visit RAPID KL
CAUTION: Please note that Rapid KL requires ALL its passengers to pay via their prepaid card. To buy a card, please bring with you an RM5 or RM10 note. RM1s are unreliable. Bring spares cause the machine is a bit wonky at times.
Once you buy or reload a card, the full distance bus fare of RM 2.50 is automatically charged to your card irregardless of your stop. This is why when you reach your destination, make sure that you tag your card at the scanner at the exit so that you're not charged the full price of RM 2.50.
Rapid KL pricing system: short distance- RM 1, anywhere in between 2 or more areas- RM 2, full distance- RM 2.50.

Metrobus 99 (stops at the stop opposite Subway, the same one as U82) (Heads to 1Utama)
Personally, I hate Metrobus 99. The drivers are very ruthless (because they compete with Rapid KL for passengers) and rude and the bus is crammed and poorly maintained. The only upside is that Metrobus 99 accepts payments in cash. Their bus fare pricing is the same as Rapid KL.
