(Wikipedia)To get Batu Caves we took the bus number 11 near to the Ancient Market. It costed MYR 2.5 (almost USD 1) one way, and we traveled for at least one hour.  It is possible to take also a taxi; the fare is around MYR 40 (almost USD 15). This tour just takes the half day so you will have extra time to enjoy the city.
