The bus departed one hour later than scheduled time. Together with the weekend jam, I barely made it on time for the last ferry into penang island, and suffice to say, I totally couldn’t show up for an important appointment. The driver/driver companion was smoking in the bus, and since my seat was right in front, it was super uncomfortable for me. I also had to pee, and told them about it early, but since the nearest petrol station was a bit inconvenient for them to stop, they asked me to wait even longer until they reached a nearby rest stop. Not my best bus experience…

On time. Modern train. Plenty of luggage space. Comfortable trip.
