Pontianak to Kuching Destination Reviews

DK
David K
the bus i took has seen better days and the horrible narrow entikong to pontianak road doesnt help. the driver was on a mission to pass every other vehicle on the road. didnt matter the bus was sometimes swaying so badly i thought it would break apart. with a good highway the trip would take 3 hours including a 1 hour border stop. instead it was 9. bus stops only at ambawang outside pontianak. only way to the city is taksi which is taksi-mafia controlled like supadio airport. there is no air route between the cities so bus or private car are the only choices. road closes frequently due to rain
