Singapore to Kuala Lumpur Destination Reviews

Instructions need to be improved for occasional travellers that are not used to taking the bus. Luckily we found another traveler that helped us find the way. We had to change bus 2 Times: at the Malaysian border -where the wait was nearly 1h for the other bus to come, and then at the entry of Kuala Lumpur, for a mini van ( I have to say the driver of the mini van was such a terrible driver, driving very dangerously without any consideration to security and passengers he was driving). We departed on time (11:30) but arrived very late (20:30) probably due to traffic mostly , but also unnecessary waiting times.

The indications of the drop off point was not complete, I had to go twice inside Tai Seng MRT with my suitcase, where I found someone who happens to know that Tim Howan is the name of a restaurant at the other side of the underground. The bus arrived 2 hours late at KL

Over 2.5 hours late, terrible communication, and a very rude driver. We received almost no updates, the ticket counter was closed, and we finally arrived around 6 hours later than scheduled. Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this company.

Bus was comfortable. We had one stop 30 minutes - if You want You can eat....but, if You have cash. There are food court - only cash. Operator in Singapore was very nice and helpful.

The people on the office is rude and angry all the time, they do not give a pleasant service, unless the driver he was nice-ish. The bus departure was late. They dont help you to store the luggage in the bus. And the worst is that the arrival point was the B time square in the city center of KL, but instead they left us in another bus terminal 6 km away from the centre. Bad service.

It was good, though bus was delayed. Journey was comfortable, with a break. But driver should say more about the transfer process at the check post.

How long does it take to get from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur by bus?

Buses normally need between 4h 30m and 7h hours to get to Kuala Lumpur from Singapore. Note that the travel time is for your reference only and can depend on different factors such as traffic and weather conditions. Heavy rainfalls almost inevitably make the trip longer due to poor visibility or floods. Road and surface repairs which happen quite often, result in detours and longer travel times. Major national holidays, long weekends, or peak season periods may cause delays both in departures and arrivals – plan accordingly to avoid disappointment, especially if you have further connections and a tight schedule.

On this route, Mutiara Luxe offers the fastest service. Sri Maju Group buses usually take the longest time to complete the journey.

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.
