TRAFFIC between Kelantan’s capital of Kota Baru and Kuala Lumpur is heavy, as reflected in the frequency of daily flights out of the Sultan Ismail Petra airport to either KLIA or Subang Airport. Currently, more than 200 flights a week depart from Kota Baru, attesting to the number of people who need to reach their destinations in a hurry.
Heavy traffic is also reflected in the daily bus services, with 125 buses a day plying the same route that takes around eight hours (can be up to half a day long in the run-up to the holidays, especially Hari Raya), depending on traffic conditions.
