About Transnasional MY

Bus is a convenient way of travel no matter whether you need to get to a neighboring town a couple of hours away or venture further afield crossing the whole country. Whatever your budget, buses have you covered. Express buses offer the most affordable ticket price for travellers who have very little money to spend. VIP options are geared toward those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Before you jump on a bus, make sure you choose the type of service which suits you best. For a long-haul trip look for a VIP or first-class coach which provides non-stop service to your destination or just call a minor number of stations along the way. Express or local buses in many cases may prove an acceptable choice for shorter trips, but longer rides are often not the best buy. Study the timetable before going as many long-haul destinations are served by night buses, and some offer wider seats or sleeper berths for such travels. Make an online reservation for your bus ticket with Transnasional MY. Other travellers’ reviews will help you to choose the best ticket and coach class.

Transnasional MY Ticket Prices & Bus Classes

One of the best things about bus travel is that you can almost tailor-make your trip adjusting it to your requirements for privacy and comfort. Different classes and types of buses cater to the different needs of travellers. The cheapest trips are normally offered by standard-class buses. They may be called local, express or ordinary. These are a good choice for shorter trips. Sleepers or VIP coaches are good both for longer and overnight trips. They may offer berths or wide soft reclining seats, sometimes with built-in massage options, blankets, soft drinks, and snacks, or more substantial meals on board or during toilet or refuelling stops. Travelling by night buses allows you to save on a hotel room, but to ensure the most comfortable ride do choose the class of your bus wisely. Prices always depend on the distance you ride and the type of coach. For some, even shorter trips, it is worth investing some extra money and buying a seat on a VIP bus as it can save you twice as much time as you spend travelling by an ordinary bus.

Travel by Bus: Pros & Cons

Pros of Bus Travel

  • Bus is the best choice to get to destinations that are not connected by rail or planes. The network of buses often covers almost the whole country, and their routes are well and long-established.
  • Opposite to air travel and sometimes rail travel, taking a bus does not require arriving at the bus station much in advance. Check-in, even on international routes, does not take much time. Luggage allowances are usually very traveller-friendly, and the fee for extra luggage, if limits are set, is normally not very high.
  • Bus tickets can be more affordable compared to air or fast train tickets. There is always a choice of ticket classes for all pockets. Cheaper standard options may be a bit slow and do not offer top comfort, but anyway acceptable and bring you to your destination. On longer routes, toilets or toilet stops as well as snacks, water, and sometimes toiletries and blankets are almost always included in the price.
  • If you are ready to spend more, some VIP coaches offer seating comparable to business class on a plane with wide soft reclining seats, blankets, fewer passengers, and many other perks to make your trip a pleasant journey.

Cons of Bus Travel

  • Newer intercity bus terminals are very often located out of the city close to bigger highways to allow buses to avoid city congestion. Unfortunately, it may create extra challenges for travellers, too. Getting to such a terminal may be a problem as in some destinations there are restrictions on vehicles allowed to enter the terminal, and you will have to use special carriers to get there. This results in higher costs as prices may be inflated. Also do calculate extra time if you are travelling during rush hours, especially if you are not familiar with the traffic situation at your starting point.
  • Buses are probably the means of transport which runs out of schedule more often than trains or planes. They are heavily dependent on the road situation which sometimes can be unpredictable – accidents, road construction works, detours, etc. This is especially true for travels during weekends, high season, or national holidays. Do keep this in mind and do not plan tight connections.
  • Travelling on certain routes or during the most popular periods may require advanced booking. Bear in mind that it is not always possible to show up at the bus station and hop on the next bus – tickets may well be all sold out, so organize your trip accordingly.

Not great. Bus was late & it was an old crappy bus. Not like the nice one from KLIA2 to Melaka. Driver wouldn’t take me to kLIA said I had to take the bus. I booked to KLIA. Not happy.

The bus was early and arrived to destination early, which is great. The reason for 3 stars is that there was a high pitched indicator noise that went off the entire trip and about drove me mad.

Overall good experience. The seats are comfortable and spacious. The bus was 1 hour late due to the traffic on the surroundings of Kuala Lumpur. Try to avoid busy traffic hours.

I reserved from 12go application, but there is an error for the departure time. The bus goes 3 hours later. The ticket girls at the station TBS are very kind, and manage to have a earlier ticket. After it was a good trip.

Despite there being large no smoking signs all over the bus. The driver smoked while driving with the window open 5cm. Even wearing a mask the smell burned.

Bus was half an hour late without any information. Luggage department seemed very poor, driver had trouble opening it so there was little space for everyone’s luggage hence everything was stacked. Was a weird high pitch in the bus very frequently. Driving skills were a bit scary, many near-accidents in my opinion.

Checkin was just a scam, we had to pay for our boarding pass, which was required. Also there was some kind of eduction for a new driver, which made de drive quite horrible.

The bus was clean and comfortable. Everything was fine and the driver drove safely. The bus was approximately on time. On the 5-6 hours trip from KL to Penang we had a lunch/restroom break right after Ipoh. Buying the ticket in 12Go Asia was easy and I got the e-ticet to my email right after finishing the purchase on 12Go site.

The bus is very comfortable, the seats are wide, the distance between the seats is also great! We got there very quickly, we were stuck in a traffic jam in Malacca! I read about the beeping signal - it was speeding - it beeped when the driver was going over 100! Didn't bother me much, although I was sitting right behind the driver! In a pinch, you can wear headphones!

No holdups, dead on time, air con perfect...not like in other countries (Thailand for example) where they don’t know the difference between air con and refrigeration. Comfy seating. Love the single seats and huge legroom. Good value all round.

Bus took us to the ferry terminal where we then had to get a ferry. Ticket says another location entirely (sungai nibong) for destination - actual destination wasn’t even on Penang island

The trip itself was fine, but we should have arrived 13:45 and we were not in any traffic jam or anything, it was a smooth ride, but we arrived more than 1.5 hours later. How can this be? The driver was fast, so they must miscalculate the whole route. And when we were half way of the distance, I could already see we would have a massive delay and still he stopped for half an hour lunch break. Just state a travel time of 6 hours, and everybody would be fine. This way you cause a lot of stress for everybody.

The bus is comfortable enough and we also had short stops for visiting the restroom but the trip took unrealisticly long and made some extra stops too which occured a huge delay (because traffic was ok, we were not waiting for the people at the stops, etc.) of 4 hrs!!!

Bus was Fine. Everything worked well. What I really didn’t like was that the driver constantly drives to fast and because of this there was a loud warning sound nearly during the hole trip.

Comfortable and quick ride. Big comfortable seats. I didn't like only the driver burping all the way.

I have travelled with 5 different bus lines in Malaysia. Transnational is the only one I have taken twice and that is largely because its performance met my expectations. My only two suggestions are: - It would be nice if the seats had a USB charging socket but beyond that I am happy with the service; and - kill the speed warning (preferably by slowing down) we know it is difficult to keep to a schedule with traffic and we won't hold you accountable for being late but the warning for exceeding the speed limit carries back more into the bus and is decidedly annoying (note: I felt the driver was driving very safely but was trying hard to meet a schedule that wasn't going to be met)

my chair cannot be adjust, the handle is nowhere to be found and thus i did not have the comfort to sleep during the 5 hrs journey. thats why i rate it 2 stars only. i feel so restless with it. if only the sit can be adjusted. please check the sit and repair it. thanks.

Bus was comfortable, seats reclined to a good angle for a comfortable sleep. USB charging points below the seats were also useful. Got us home to KL from Melaka in just over two hours during CNY so definitely bonus points for making that happen.

Generally it was fine. However, managing the luggage needs more attention as passengers had to put their own stuff without any support.

On the 12go itinerary it advised the bus would arrive in Butterworth at 14.45. We did not arrive until 17.15! There was no communication from either the company or the drivers that the route had been changed to include several stops/towns on the way. Thete was no traffic to delay the journey. Not at all happy!

The bus service was on time, but the bus itself was in poorshape.The seat handrests were loose and were coming apart. The bus was carrying so many cold storage containers with some bottled.drinks, and so many plastic buckets with things in it that there was no room for passengers to put their suitcases. All the passengers were struggling to stuff their luggage in the storage space. There was no help or effort by the driver to help accomodate the luggage. it was a struggle by all the passengers to put the luggage inside.

It was way too cold on the bus. We took two breaks - each 15 minutes longer than the driver first told us. There was not much traffic but we were 100 minutes late and so we missed our next bus.

Bus ride was 6 hours, in stead of 3h they listed, due to really bad traffic (can happen). According to other passengers, normally it takes 4-5 hours. Would have been better if they advertised with 4h.
