  19. The E1 bus stopped about 2 years ago.

    ==now the option is==
    Nadiputra bus no. 500 leaves for Putrajaya, from beside Mydin shop (Jalan Tun Perak), near Kotaraya is less frequent, typically every 1 hour ..say 9 am, 10 am ..and so. Can't help it. But really cheap option at RM 3.80.

    The ERL train (aka KLIA transit) is costlier at RM 15, leaves from KL sentral, but frequency is better.

    The other option is to travel to Bandar Utama, which has good connectivity by train and bus. From that bus stop, RapidKL bus 506 leaves every 30 minutes for Putrajaya, price is same cheap.

    While returning from PJ, just wait for both 500 and 506, whichever you get earlier.
