Tanah Rata to Penang Destination Reviews

Quick and on time. The driver didn't communicate with the passengers. Sometimes he stopped without any explanations about how much time we had for the break. He didn't check if everyone was back on the bus before continuing.

CS Express team were very friendly, helpful and accommodating when requesting to be collected in the Kea Farm area to avoid backtracking to Tanah Raja. Communication with the team was excellent, they were prompt and supportive in their responses. When the bus arrived it was super comfortable, with reclining seats and charging ports, the best transport we've had in Malaysia by far. Absolutely recommend.

The driver was very angry all the time, checking everyone, shouting to random people and driving very aggresively. Aside from that, our trip was to Penang Sentral and suddenly the last stop was in Georgetown.. Very strange experience so we had to take a grab.The seets were very nice.

Bus left and arrived on time. Lots of legroom and spacious seats. Bus dropped us off at a different point, but is was already on Penang Island so it was better. Safe driving.
