Johor to Kuala Lumpur Destination Reviews

No A/C during the trip. And the bus announced at 5:30 pm at KL and we arrived at 7:00. We missed our important meeting. So very bad experience.

The bus came like last time too late. The trip lasted much longer than 5 hours. Don't know why it's called 'Express'. Last time 7 hours, this time 6,5 hours. One stop for the toilet, I had to ask for a second one.

The ride was comfortable with enough stops during these 6hours. We were a little late in KL but ok. Bad thing (and 5 others) booked a ride to Kuala Lumpur Sentral Station, but we’re dropped off at the Bus Terminal a little more outside the city. The driver just told us this is his last stop and if we want to go further we have to look for another bus. Then he just left us there. Not sure if this is his fault or wrong information on the website.
