Jom Naik Bas! started in 2008 focusing on reviews on the various express coach services that plies between Singapore and Malaysia.
The “Jom Naik!” series covers comprehensive reviews on express bus services, primarily those serving between Singapore and Malaysia. Occasionally, other long-distance buses and train journeys in the region will be covered as well.

Hello, Great video ! I am planning to take the Luxury Bus (or any other better bus ?) from Mallaca to Singapore, so few questions: 1) How can I buy the ticket ? 2) How many Luxury ( or better bus) Buses leave Mallaca per day to Singapore ? 3) Do I need to buy the ticket in advance ? Thank you very much for your help. Keep the great job !
Wow, I didn't know they have this service since 2018. I guess now Airasia offers flights from SZB to Kuching, so this is a better option for East Malaysians to travel between Sabah/Sarawak to KL
Unfortunately, the service have been suspended indefinitely. And there are no news of when it will be reinstated even with Subang Airport restarting jet operations this month.
The train services will be reinstated once the new terminal is built. The space where the car park exists at the moment will be transformed into the landside terminal, just adjacent to the current train station. Appeared on May 2 recently, AL stated as "Once the terminal is up and running, the track will be resumed but on a new model. So we are looking at how to revise that particular service based on a new model, probably a joint venture or collaboration with other parties,” he told reporters at a press conference today. @@jenniferkhoo4206
Memang kurang sambutan, dan disebabkan kurangnya bilangan penumpang yang menggunakan khidmat shuttle ni, KTMB telah menggantung khidmat ini sehingga diberitahu kelak.
Side indicator (signal) lamps are installed backwards. They are supposed to be positioned to be seen by approaching vehicles from the rear of the bus (in the bus’ blind spot)..
I dont understand why those busses from Singapore like to drop passengers at Times Square..such a hectic place to wait for bus etc... why not utilizing TBS like normal express busses in Malaysia? You guys contribute to traffic jammed in KL yo..see those Singapore busses park along the road in front of Times Square..such an eyesore
All boils down to one simple logic - Demand. If there’s no demand from passengers, Berjaya Times Square would not be that popular. Non-Malaysian buses are not allowed into TBS, that is why none of them calls at TBS.
It’s more likely to be deployed from the pickup points mentioned in the video, with the coach code DD40S. Being said that, Cityline may deploy this bus on other routes where necessary.
I may be little biased because I'm Indonesian but I prefer the look of Indonesian bus bodies compared to Malaysian ones because the Malaysian I feel are a bit too curvy...
That’s the beauty of it. Each country has their own signature design cues and preferences and that’s what makes it interesting. Thai buses may look somewhat bold and exotic, but that is what makes them special in their own right.
23 years ago, a bus driver said that many bus operator liners want powerful engines but not necessarily for speeding. Something about not needing to keep it floored in low gear up the mountain passes.. Effortless passage, perhaps.?
The 30-minutes allowance is a standard among the operators, taking into account the time taken for an average traveller to clear the immigration. Of course, if a large number of passengers cannot return to the bus in 30 minutes, the bus would have to wait because obviously there is an issue clearing the majority of passengers. However, if most of the passengers managed to clear the immigration and return to the bus on time, then obviously there is an issue with the traveller being held up at the immigration. It is unfair for the bus to keep on waiting for that particular passenger when everyone else is already back in the bus.
More often than not, it is the travellers’ fault for failing to ensure they have the necessary documents for the immigration clearance. I have personally come across many instances where travellers did not submit the arrival card required for the clearance, even after repeated calls from the bus driver to submit them as early as possible.
@@jomnaikbas but I do see many are held up not because of their own clearance issue but the long queue in front. Foreigners (except Singaporeans) are still not able to use automatic clearance in Malaysian customs. There might be a long queue in front that cause the delay
@Cubs3344 That is correct. And for that reason that you mentioned, the drivers are obliged to stay on and wait because it is the congestion that caused the delay, and not the travellers’ documentations.
I clocked 1.9 hour the fastest bangi-skudai with 10pm traffic. Average speed was around 165kmh and when the road is clear i reach 240kmh. Dont think this bus can do 3h sg-kl.
What a great trip. I will called it one step ahead, because in my country also your neighbours country, the largest power of Volvo coach chassis just 450 hp, and yes it's B11R not B13R and also only Euro 5 at the moment. Even the 450 hp chassis isn't included yet on Local Distributor & Manufacturers Website.
Any idea what is the updating now if we take flight from Selatar Airport to Subang Airport to KL Sentral? Is the SkyTrain avaliable? Or is there any bus services from Subang Airport to KL Sentral? Thanks!😊
Malaysia authorities recently announced that the Skypark Shuttle Train will resume service soon. However, no dates were mentioned so we’ll have to wait and see when the resumption will take place. There are RapidKL buses to the Skypark Terminal - Service 772 from Pasar Seni LRT and Service T804 from Kwasa Sentral MRT. I would not advise taking the bus if you have luggage because it would be quite a hassle.
Actually I went to Novena counter and asking the staff where actually the bus stops at 1 Utama because I used to take First Coach to 1 Utama before covid shutdown. It was v.convenient as it drop-off next to the lobby of the One World Hotel. Firstly I wonder why First Coach stop aligting and aboarding passenger from the office next to lobby hotel One World? And can u guide me this present new alight and boarding at 1 Utama is it still walking distance to One World hotel? And is this pick-up and drop-off attached to 1 Utama shopping mall? I really miss going to 1 Utama shopping malls and staying at One World Hotel. Hope to here from u soon so that I can travel there again soon since the staff I have asked in Novena seems now knowing exactly where First Coach alight/aboard passengers at 1 Utama to know if to One World Hotel is it a walking distance of 10mins perhalps?
Yes, First Coach former pickup and dropoff point used to be at One World Hotel. Due to regulation by local authorities, all express buses can only terminate at the express bus terminal at 1 Utama. The terminal itself is located at the Lower Ground Level of 1 Utama Shopping Centre.
@@jomnaikbas ok noted....thank u so much for all your reply that really helps me in my future travelling. May GOD Bless u with your kind help. Thanks again😊👍
Just wondering...are all coaches drop-off arrival will always be the same for pick-up point when return to SG when we use the same coach company? Thanks again for your useful video👍
I really appreciated your video and becoming ur fan now because u really explain the whole journey. Thank u so much. I wonder if it is not much to ask...can u kindly add in how to walk from the drop-off point to KL/Melacca/etc to nearest hotel eg. in this video how to go to Hattan Hotel because I find it is like a bus bay only. Showing the way to the nearest hotel...it will help tavellers who unfimiliar with the drop-off place like me. Thanks!
The bus bay at Hatten Terminal is located just outside Estadia Hotel lobby. From the terminal, you will just need to walk into the building and follow the sign to Hatten Hotel lobby.
