A stranger in Shah Alam, know nothing until I spent few days being a squarter in UiTM Puncak Perdana campus. Main concern then was public transportation, so here are some directions for whomever feel like a stranger there too. Hehe. Those cannot tolerate detailed description just read whatever necessary.
Take bus no. U80 (Pasar Seni - Shah Alam Section 2) at Pasar Seni. Find a bus terminal next to Pasar Seni LRT, you have to walk a little bit further in (scary looking area) until you see a bunch of RapidKL buses and people queuing. NOT at the bus stations alongside the main road where you can see Central Market and Pos Malaysia. If you step off from Pasar Seni LRT escalator, walk to your right. When you enter the scary looking area, on your left is buses for other area so go to your right and you'll see queue lane for several buses, of course go for U80 Section 2 Shah Alam. The fare is RM2. Pretty crowded when people get back from work and you might have to stand whole one hour to Shah Alam but better still than taking the bus from these places along its route (will only describe the one I experience);
Monorail Brickfield, near KL Sentral. There isn't obvious stand point, wait for the bus where you see most people are waiting and it is in front of shop lots same row with Monorail ticket counter NOT on the other side. If you are actually inside KL Sentral building, you have to walk across (go down to ground floor at the bus station, find your way to walk to the busy area totally opposite KL Sentral about 5 minutes walk).
Universiti LRT Station. Don't wait at the main bus station where you can see RapidKL to University Malaya (T632) or Mid Valley (T631) instead walk to the other side of the building. If you step off the station's stairs go to your left you'll see a bus stand at the walk side of the main road. Wait for U80. Usually not stopping during high peak hour because it will already be packed.

Make sure you have exact amount of money because the system is that you put money inside a metal box besides the bus driver and receive a printed ticket from him.Depending on the traffic, you will arrive at Section 2 Shah Alam approximately an hour or less. For those wanting to go Kompleks PKNS, Plaza Alam Sentral and SACC Mall can get off the bus when you see a lot of people getting off the bus but don't confuse it with other stops. Better be safe ask the driver or other passenger.
You'll know you finally arrive at Section 2 Shah Alam when you see a KFC building and a big eating place beside it (Medan Selera) on your right. Few shop lots like 7Eleven available in that area. Cross the road to a bus stop and from there buses back to KL and to Puncak Perdana parked there.
The bus to Puncak Perdana is T605 or just ask the driver. Ticket price is RM1. Approximately 30 minutes before reaching the UiTM campus. Last bus from Section 2 to Puncak Perdana is around 10.30 p.m. but there is also 10 p.m., 9 p.m. and 9.30 p.m. bus. Don't risk it because sometimes the buses are unavailable. Just ask any RapidKL pakcik there when is the last bus if you wish to grab a bite at the eatery place across the road.
By the way, on your way back to Pasar Seni, you can stop at Masjid Ar-Rahman University Malaya to save time if you wish to go to Mid Valley. To know if you are about to approach Masjid Ar-Rahman, look for Menara TM because the building is so near. About 20 minutes after leaving Section 2 Shah Alam, the bus will turn to left after a straight highway. The stop for Masjid Ar-Rahman is immediately after the bus turn left. Find your way to walk to Universiti LRT Station (facing the road, it is on your right).
For God sake ask for direction from local people. It is far easier you know. I did that *wink*
