The bus was delayed by more than an hour. It seemed like two buses were combined, as the one we booked didn’t appear to be very full. The footrest on my seat was broken, but apart from that the seats were extremely comfortable, and it was great that you could charge your phone on board

We could have been on time if the driver hadn't picked up a person at the last minute, getting paid directly and then dropping him off before KL, and also if we hadn't made an unscheduled stop in front of a gas station to trade car tires ????
