The bus left 20 minutes late. Shortly after the air conditioning stopped working. It seemed that the air con would die when the bus was running. The bus then stopped on the side of the highway and alternative buses were organised for the passengers. The driver was stressed but he remained helpful. Several hours of waiting followed and I arrived at my destination almost 5 hours later than I should have.

The bass was really good but it was late more than one hour

The service was delayed and the staff at the bus station was both unhelpful and quite rude. I had to ask several times when the bus was coming and he dismissed me several times telling me to sit down and almost laughing in my face. He then gave me information after it was already late saying it would be very late. It was unhelpful and the communication remained poor. The bus broke down for 2 hours, 1 hour outside of Kuala Lumper. Again, we had no information about what was happening, for the first hour and 45 minutes, and just told to leave the bus. A replacement bus did come and we finally arrived in Penang at 8.40 am, instead of 5.10 am. It was a significant delay and caused problems for our first day in Penang.
