Getting to DurianBB Academy Without a Car: The Complete MRT Guide
Most of the genuinely interesting things to do just outside Kuala Lumpur require a car — or a Grab, which adds up quickly on a multi-day itinerary.DurianBB Academy is different. It's one of the few experiences beyond the main KL tourist circuit that is genuinely convenient by public transport — and the journey from central KL takes about 25 minutes.
Here's exactly how to do it, step by step, with zero guesswork required.
The Route: KL to DurianBB Academy by MRT
Step 1: Take the Putrajaya Line
From any station on the Putrajaya Line (also called the MRT Line 2), travel toward Putrajaya & Cyberjaya. If you're coming from the city centre — KLCC, Bukit Bintang, or KL Sentral — you'll need to connect to the Putrajaya Line first.
Key interchange stations where you can connect to the Putrajaya Line:
- Kwasa Damansara — interchange from Kajang Line
- Semantan — interchange from Kajang Line
- Muzium Negara — interchange from Kajang Line
Step 2: Exit at UPM Station (PY34)
Your destination station is UPM Station, station code PY34 on the Putrajaya Line. Take Exit A when you leave the station.
Step 3: WhatsApp for the Shuttle Van — Do This Before You Arrive
This is the step most visitors miss: WhatsApp +6012-8221659 at least 15 minutes before you arrive at UPM Station. The DurianBB Academy shuttle van will meet you at Exit A and take you directly to the venue at Lot 5377, Jalan Durian, Seri Kembangan.
Do not wait until you're at the exit to WhatsApp — give them 15 minutes notice so the van is ready when you arrive. If you message from the MRT while en route, that works perfectly.
