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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
