[edit] Accessibility

Since The Gardens and Mid-Valley Megamall are built and managed by the same company, there are many levels of accessibility between Mid-Valley and The Gardens. In the first floor, there is a roofed bridge connected both shopping malls. At the ground level, a make shift roofed walkway has been built to facilitate foot traffic during both rain and shine. A taxi stand featuring premier taxis is integrated with the main entrance. At the lower ground level, a tunnel between both shopping mall exists.

Although no direct connectivity with public transport except taxis exists as of December 2007, there is an indirect link to a KTM Komuter station, Mid Valley station. The station itself is connected with Mid-Valley Megamall. According to the official website, there is a plan to build a bridged walkway which will connect to the Abdullah Hukum LRT station, which led to the demolishing of Abdullah Hukum village. A monorail and another KTM Komuter station are being considered to be built. Both the LRT and the Monorail stations are being proposed by the developer to the government and are waiting for government approval.
