Kuala Lumpur is known for having extreme traffic issues during the peak hours and visitors usually say it is better to just begin walking around the area than get on a bus or into a car. If you are going to explore the downtown parts of Bukit Bintang, get yourself onto public transportation, and once you get there, get off and just walk around. The monorail systems in Kuala Lumpur connects you to almost every part of the city and makes exploring the area so much easier.
