Singapore to Kuala Lumpur Destination Reviews

There was a delay and bus took too long so all customers left the bus sooner than the destination

Punctuality was an issue. We started very late from KL. Delay starting from Berjaya Times Square & at Hentian Serdang. So instead of 10am start it started 10.30 from Berjaya and 11.30 from Hentian Serdang. The staff/ driver in the bus to Singapore were rude to some passengers ( including making racist remarks) and impatient. On the way back from Singapore there were no USB ports functioning and we couldn't turn on our individual lights in the dark. Because of the heavy traffic ( bumper to bumper), this meant sitting in the dark for a number of hours. But the driver returning to KL sector was better in his attitude.

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.

Note that the travel time is for your reference only and can depend on different factors such as traffic and weather conditions. Heavy rainfalls almost inevitably make the trip longer due to poor visibility or floods. Road and surface repairs which happen quite often, result in detours and longer travel times.

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.
