This is by far the worst bus company I have ever experienced. I cannot recommend it at all. The bus was supposed to depart from Sentral at 2:00 pm. I therefore took a taxi there on time and arrived at 1:30 pm. At 1:36 pm I received a message saying that the bus would depart from Berjaya Times Square instead and leave at 2:30 pm. When I asked why, I was only told: “Malaysia government is not allowing any transport agency to pick up at KL Sentral or NU Sentral, so you need to go to Berjaya Times Square. We apologise for the inconvenience.” The contact person took a very long time to reply. I was then told to go to a kiosk and wait there, but this kiosk could not be found on Google Maps. So I basically had to hope to find it. Later I received pictures, but these were difficult to show to the taxi/Grab driver and rely on. Eventually I found the place using Street View and had to take another Grab. When I arrived, the stand was closed. I called again and was told that the staff would still arrive. They finally arrived at 2:35 pm. Many passengers were already very upset and frustrated. It also became clear that different passengers had received different information regarding the pickup location and time. Although seat selection was offered, it did not matter at all. There was free seating and tickets were not checked. I have taken many bus trips before, including trips to Laos and Cambodia, but this was by far the worst company. In addition, the journey ultimately took four hours longer than scheduled. There was no water, no snack, and no seat belts to fasten.

No food on the bus allowed and the rest-stop location was very poor; bad facilities and non-hygenic food it seemed. Hence, had to survive 7-8hrs drive with limited food…

Safe trip and smooth crossing at the border.

The transfer is highly recommended. The journey went smoothly, the driver was friendly, the seats were comfortable, and we arrived on time. Only the check-in at the kiosk didn't go quite as smoothly. I arrived early and didn't receive another ticket with the bus number.

The estimated times are terrible. The bus had as good a run as can be little traffic, not too long at the border control, left on time, yet was still 3 hours after the expected time. Just please be realistic. Bus was comfortable and the driver was pleasant.

How to stay safe in Singapore?

Stay safe by adhering to local laws and regulations, as Singapore is known for its strict enforcement. Public spaces are monitored, and littering or jaywalking can result in fines. It is important to respect cultural norms, such as removing shoes before entering homes and dressing modestly when visiting religious sites.

Transportation is reliable and safe, with taxis and ride-sharing services costing around 10-20 SGD ($7-15) for short distances. The MRT and buses are efficient options.

Walking alone is generally safe, but always be aware of your surroundings. Opt for bottled water, as tap water is safe to drink but may taste different due to chlorination. Emergency services are efficient, with the police reachable at 999 and ambulance services at 995.

When dining, street food is safe to enjoy, but observe cleanliness standards. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash, as credit cards are widely accepted.

Should I go to Kuala Lumpur or Singapore first?

Choosing between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore depends on your travel preferences. Kuala Lumpur offers a mix of cultural experiences, with attractions like the Petronas Towers, Batu Caves, and vibrant street markets. It is generally more affordable, with meals costing around 20-40 MYR ($5-$10) and public transport fares starting at 2 MYR ($0.50).

Singapore, known for its modern architecture and cleanliness, features attractions such as Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, and Sentosa Island. It is more expensive, with meals typically costing 10-20 SGD ($7-$15) and public transport fares starting at 1.50 SGD ($1).

Both cities provide efficient public transportation systems and diverse dining options. Consider starting with Kuala Lumpur if you prefer a more budget-friendly experience with rich cultural diversity, or choose Singapore for a more upscale, organized urban environment.

For longer distances, Singapore's efficient public transport system, including the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit), complements pedestrian travel. Fares typically range from 1.50 to 2.50 SGD ($1.10 to $1.85) for short trips. Tap water is safe to drink, so refillable water bottles are practical for walking tours. Additionally, it is advisable to carry an umbrella due to frequent rain showers.
