Driver was 35mn late. Driver does not say a word nor cares at all about his customers. But his driving was ok.

I needed to go to the toilet VERY BADLY. There was a ton of traffic, which you guys cannot do anything about but thats why it took longer. The pdf said that halfway we would stop at a gasstation. I was almost pissing my pants but we were already 3/5 of the way and i saw there was a gasstation near so naturally thought we would stop there. WE DID NOT. MIND YOU, we were already on our way for 3 HOURS AND 15 MINUTES. So i went to the driver and ask him to please stop at the nearest. He was not even paying attention to the road because he was calling his girlfriend, i think. He half ignored my question and i had to beg him to please listen to me. Then he says it will take ANOTHER 30 MINUTES. I was crying in the seat because I just couldnt hold it anymore and it was hurting so bad. After 4hrs and 7/10 of the way, we stopped. That is NOT what was promised.

The bus was about half hour late departing but actually arrived roughly on time at Ipoh (from Kuala Lumpur). It was clean and comfortable and well driven.
