Analysis

Menara AmBank is situated at a very convenient location with many amenities within walking distance. This is exceptionally convenient for working class who does not have their own vehicle or want to avoid the jam. Apart from that, there is also a huge car park area just in front of Menara AmBank which provides much convenience as parking areas are hard to come by in the city area.

However, as it is located at a prime area in Kuala Lumpur, traffic congestion is unavoidable. Traffic can be pretty congested during peak hours like after office hours whereby many people wants to get out of the city centre area and thus, traffic jam is a common sight along the roads leading to and fro from Menara AmBank.
