We were unfamiliar with both T1 and T2 but had booked to leave from T2 as that appeared to be our only option. Our inbound flight landed at T1 46 minutes late, why cut down our available time to get to T2 to catch the bus at 1700 hrs. My wife and I both suffer from bad knees with fast walking and lifting presenting problems for us. At T1 we had trouble communicating with anyone who could confirm what we had to do to get to T2 with our luggage to get to T2. We did make it, with 7 minutes to spare. I had to lift our cases up a considerable height to put them in the hod without any assistance. This caused me huge knee pain. On boarding the bus, we found our sllocted seats to be occupied by two Spanish travellers who told us they were going to T1 to disembark! Surely, the coach then went back to T1 where they got off and we occupied our allocated seats! We had just been through over 45 minutes of unnecessary stress and actual pain because of this. We were also at a loss to understand a delay at the transport interchange outside KL, where we appeared to sit without reason for something like another 40 minutes, ultimately delaying our arrival into Ipoh by around 50 minutes, beyond the closing time for check-in to our accommodation. Again, no assistance whatsoever with unloading our luggage, made worse by the driver starting to close the door down while we still had my case to remove. The coach seats were comfortable but the temperature was far too cold. Overall, a very bad experience and one we would not repeat or recommend for elderly people who do not speak Bahasa.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
