Buses and I don’t generally get along. However, there is a special type of bus in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that I thought I should get to know better: the free bus service called GoKL. I thought there were 4 GoKL lines. But in the course of my GoKL adventures, I learned that there are now six of them: Purple, Green, Blue, Red, Orange, and Pink. And there are plans to open up even more lines in the future.

The Purple Line was a good place to start because the Purple Line buses start and end their route right across the street from my guest house at the Pasar Seni Station. I had a lot of questions about the GoKL service, and the best way to answer those questions seemed to be to just jump on the nearest GoKL bus and see what happens.
