Although the instructions said to arrive to the stop 30 - 45 minutes ahead of time, apparently the bus got there over an hour early. We were at the hotel packing and planned to get coffee on our way out, but instead I had three phone calls rushing me. I thought I misread the instructions, but no, they just wanted to leave early. Instead of meeting at the spot, the bus came to our hotel and literally the driver was in the lobby rushing us while the person was on the phone rushing us. No time to get coffee or breakfast items. We only had one stop on the way there for lunch, it was so hot and a lot of the packaged snacks were well beyond the expiration date, but I was hungry having not eaten anything. It was a 12 hour bus ride and it was totally thoughtless and inconvenient to rush your passengers like that. Also, we had no major delays but still arrived 10 minutes after scheduled. Maybe you should consider updating your pick up times.

Modern bus, friendly stuff and the places was a little bit too small for a big person. But generally very comfortable

For choosing the budget option, it pretty much met my expectations. Fairly bossy/short tempered drivers but nothing a little smiling and patience with them couldn't fix. :) We ended up arriving 2 hours early!! Wild. No food allowed in the main cabin of the bus and no bathroom breaks.

Very disappointing experience. The drivers were extremely rude and kept pushing us without saying a single word, which was both disrespectful and shocking. On top of that, they were smoking cigarettes inside the bus throughout the trip. The smell was unbearable and completely unacceptable. I would not recommend this company.

Comfy ride, bus stopped slightly up the street and did not have 'Queen Tourist' on it as expected, so it was a bit confusing initially. Bus was comfy and made toilet stops when needed, however we were not dropped at the specified location, and arrived like 2 hours early no information available about shuttles, difficult to find taxis on Grab.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
