The journey didn’t go well; the driver was very rude. During the stop, which didn’t even last 10 minutes, the driver drove off and we had to run after the bus to stop it, which isn’t supposed to happen! Leaving three passengers behind at the bus stop is a disgrace

Bus was 25min late to depart, arrival 2h30 later than scheduled. Random stop on the side of the highway in Malaysia to board 10 passengers.

The bus was supposed to leave at 0900. There was no communication at all, no indication that the bus was delayed or that we were even in the right place. We tried calling every number on the booking form, including the "hotline" and got no reply on any of them, I also messaged on WhatsApp and sent an email and only received a response an hour later, after the bus had finally arrived. It was an extremely stressful experience. The bus left long after the advertised departure time with no explanation or apology from the staff there and there was nobody present at the time we were all told to get there to give any information, which is simply not acceptable. The conductor on the bus was also surly and unnecessarily unpleasant, and whilst the seats were reasonably comfortable, the inside of the bus was certainly not very clean, Finally, the advertised arrival time was 14:37. We didn't actually arrive until after 18:00.

Bus was ok, No trinking and eating allowed. We had a traffic jam and needed 8 hours...bad idea without trinking and eating. Also it was not clear, that we had to sign in a office near by.

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.
