Hentian Putra (GPS: 3.16759, 101.69043) is a now disused bus terminal in Kuala Lumpur. It is located on Jalan Putra in the Chow Kit area, near to Putra World Trade Centre. Hentian Putra was in use until end of November, 2014, after which all bus serves of that terminal was relocated to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan at Bandar Tasik Selatan. Hentian Putra was the bus terminal for long-distance express buses from the East Coast states of Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan.

Operations at Hentian Putra was affected by water pipe damage, which resulted in bus services having to be moved out of the terminal, with only the ticket counters in operation. Initially the Kuala Lumpur City Hall had intended to upgrade the terminal, but now that bus services have been shifted elsewhere, there is no immediate plans for upgrading of the disused terminal building.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
