Besut to Penang Destination Reviews

The bus was late, and the driver didn’t wear a seatbelt during the entire journey, so the seatbelt warning alarm kept beeping the whole time. The only positive aspect was the comfort of the bus. Overall, a disappointing experience

i booked that Bus company because it said it's only 6 hours (all the others said almost 8) but of course, it was unrealistic and I guess they know. In the end it took over 9 hours! (we did also half an hour break instead of going directly). At least the bus is comfortable.

Good bus, left on time. But there were a lot of stops and we arrived 3 hours later then scheduled.... the bus ride was very wild through the mountains to compensate time we guessed.
