Singapore to Kuala Lumpur Destination Reviews

Extremely disappointing experience with 12Go and Easybook. I booked a bus through 12Go, and during the booking process I was redirected to Easybook to complete the payment. I paid for a confirmed ticket and received a booking confirmation. On the day of travel, I went to the designated boarding point on time and waited for the bus. The bus simply never arrived. I tried repeatedly to contact the operator. No one answered the phone, and no one responded to my messages. I then contacted Easybook for help, but instead of providing an immediate solution, I was left without any meaningful assistance. As a tourist with a limited travel schedule, I cannot spend an entire day sitting at a roadside bus counter waiting for a bus that may never show up. Because of this failure, I had to purchase another bus ticket at my own expense just to continue my journey. What makes this even more frustrating is that 12Go directed me to Easybook for the booking, yet when the service failed, there was no effective support or accountability. If you are going to list and sell tickets for transport operators, you should have a proper system to deal with situations where an operator simply fails to provide the service. Taking a customer's money and then leaving them stranded without proper communication is completely unacceptable. I am extremely disappointed with both platforms. A confirmed ticket should mean an actual service—not a wasted day, wasted money and a customer left stranded with no meaningful support. I am keeping all booking, payment, communication and boarding-point evidence and will be pursuing the matter through the appropriate payment and complaint channels. Think twice before booking. My experience was extremely poor and I would not recommend relying on these platforms for an important journey unless you are prepared to deal with this kind of situation.

Was late to arrive which is fine as there was a lot of traffic but the customer service was dreadful. Rude, arrogant and gave zero information at any point except for angrily telling people to hurry. So bad

Excellent service in Singapore, the ride was very comfortable. Stop for snacks was colorful but the stands were cash only and I had no Malay cash, perhaps in the info you could mention Malay cash needed if you want to purchase anything. We were 2+ hours late getting into KL and had to change busses which was unexpected and tiring.

The bus was very comfy and the ride overall good. The staff was rather unfriendly though. We was no information whatsoever about the border control procedures leaving Singapore and entering Malaysia. At one point we made a weird stop where everyone should stay in the vehicle and the driver left the bus for around 5 minutes but nobody new what’s going on. Then, about 20 minutes before arrival the bus suddenly stopped and all guests (there were only around 12 or so) were told we should leave the bus and enter a smaller van that then continued taking us to the destination. Again no information was provided by the staff.

What delicacy is Kuala Lumpur known for?

Kuala Lumpur is known for its diverse culinary scene, with Nasi Lemak being a standout delicacy. This traditional Malaysian dish consists of rice cooked in coconut milk, served with sambal (spicy chili paste), fried anchovies, peanuts, boiled egg, and cucumber. It is often accompanied by fried chicken or rendang (a type of meat stew). You can savor Nasi Lemak at local eateries and street food stalls, with prices typically ranging from 5 to 15 MYR ($1 to $3 USD).

Another popular local treat is Satay, skewered and grilled meat served with peanut sauce, available at night markets and hawker centers. Prices for Satay are generally around 1 MYR ($0.20 USD) per stick. These dishes offer a taste of the rich flavors and cultural influences that define Kuala Lumpur's food scene.

Is Singapore more crowded or Kuala Lumpur?

Singapore tends to feel more crowded than Kuala Lumpur, especially in popular areas like Orchard Road and Marina Bay. Singapore is a smaller city-state with a high population density, leading to bustling streets and busy public transport during peak hours. In contrast, Kuala Lumpur is more spread out, offering areas that feel less congested despite having busy spots like Bukit Bintang and Petronas Towers.

Both cities offer efficient public transport systems, but Singapore's MRT is known for its punctuality and frequency. For a less crowded experience in Singapore, try visiting attractions early in the morning or on weekdays. In Kuala Lumpur, consider exploring less tourist-heavy neighborhoods and using the city's extensive network of pedestrian walkways to navigate comfortably.
