That was quick, in this next episode of my travel series - I depart Singapore headed to my next destination, Kuala Lumpur. Most people would choose to fly because KL is only 390km away. Did you know there are a whole host of coach services you can utilise as well? It ranges from the mundane to the crazy luxurious decked out ones like the one I'm on.

I did an almost similar journey with Aeroline. You can't go wrong with either service provider.

@94vrcommodore 2 года назад

I would. Because you don’t need to rock up too early and go through all the baggage security. $60 SGD is excellent value for first class with a meal and some snacks included and a 7 hour trip

Coach is a good alternative to plane as flying nowadays is a hassle of needing check in at least 2-3 hrs. It works out to be about the same time as bus which brings you to centre of city without traffic jam or immigration delays.

Indeed. One of the drawcards when Air Asia was born was that you can buy an air ticket for less than a bus fare. And they weren't wrong. But just like train travel, bus is for you to enjoy the journey.

Lovely comfortable coach, I'd travel on it. I have already done this route back in 1984, flying Brisbane-Singapore-Kuala Lumpur-Abu Dhabi-London. I remember we had to stay in our plane at KL airport, no photos out of windows and soldiers with rifles surrounding the plane. Apparently another plane was hi-jacked 200 kms away. We were sprayed above our heads, then took off again. I flew solo, so was a daunting experience to remember.

I took this bus in July, definitely the way to go between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

Hi Ryan, you are lucky for the slightly delay in reaching KL. Many years back, on a labour day holiday morning, I left Singapore at 6:30am by Sri Maju to KL. Jam was horrid. Our coach reached KL Berjaya Time-square at 9:00pm!

@ryansofly Год назад

Oh my... That's horrible! Yes the traffic can be quite terrible along the highway during holiday season. I once left KL by car in Xmas eve thinking I would arrive in 2nd link at midnight and sail through it to be home. I ended up being stuck at 2nd link for 5 hours because everyone thought like me? Lol... Pity the high speed rail has been canned. Otherwise that would be ideal.

@playmakersmusic Год назад

Really awesome video to watch to unwind after a busy day! The reason why there isn't any direct train is because the Malaysian side kept changing their stance when it comes to building the high speed rail between SG and MY.

I lived in southern Thailand for two years in the 1990s and did the journey between the south and Bangkok both by bus and by train. Even then both methods were comfortable. I'm sure it's better now.

Last week, I booked this bus for my trip to KL. My trip was not very enjoyable. First of all, the bus was supposed to come at 9am to Golden Mile Complex, but it wasn't there. Best of all, it wasn't even the Transtar First Class Solitaire Suite bus. It was just a regular normal seated bus and we were told to board it and transfer to Solitaire only after we cross the Tuas checkpoint. This was already a big turn off for me since I booked for my family of three and we were on a regular bus for about two or three hours. From what I saw once I got to the Solitaire, it all looks a bit run down now. Things work but do not look as posh as advertised. Maybe it was just the bus that I was in. I give it a 4/10.

The bus is the way to go when travelling from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Ryan! No airport security nonsense, no risk of luggage getting lost, you go from central city to central city and you sit in seats similar to business class on a plane. Add to that the views from the bus window and the far cheaper fare. Why would you fly? I've travelled this way a few times and once by air.

The saddest event regarding JB to KL by train was when they dropped the overnight sleeper :( Yes the lack of a direct JB to KL train sucks.

I 'think' they have almost electrified the whole line which will be good because the current layover at Gemas is like 3 hours. btw This bus is on my to do list next year. Is there room for an airline carry on where people normally sit on the bus ??

@ryansofly Год назад

Yeah the train situation is a bit shit. That's why I chose not to do it. Perhaps when it is fully electrified I'll look at it again. As for the bus, my roller luggage was stored in the cargo hold.

have not traveled that far up msia since covid, but I think maybe you can buy a ticket from KL back to SG for same price of 60 but in ringgit ... which is 3 times less because I always do it when I used to go up to melaka, from golden mile I buy a 1 way ticket and pay S$25 to melaka then once I disembark at melaka central bus station I immediately buy a return ticket for same price of 25 ringgit. One thing to note a lot of malaysians work in SG but return home to msia on Fridays evenings after work then on Sunday evenings they have to come back down again to report to work on monday so coach tickets get sold out very fast if you want to return on Sundays make sure you buy your ticket ASAP. But you can also hire a private vehicle taxi which is way lot faster but of course much more expensive I think was under 400 ringgit melaka to SG before covid.

Also, I would travel SG to KL by this means if it weren't for the traffic jams, especially at the border. You were very very lucky that checkpoint traffic was on your side. When I travelled last month across the border, it was by rail and even though the rail carriages were not as eye-pleasing as say, Japanese or Korean trains, they still did the job of getting us there quickly. It is harder to get from JB to KL by luxury bus given the frequencies.

My record was 4.5 hours at the border crossing. Xmas eve in 2008. We had people getting out of the car to pee by the roadside... 🤣

Oh no! I've heard such stories, so closing the correct coach company is essential.

@Leisurestyle Год назад

One-way or return rate? For my experience with return fare, the coaches used for the return trip were always a lower rated bus instead of the same ones used for the outbound trip. Company had never compensated with rebates as they always cited that there’s huge demands and there’s no more similar standard coaches. That was umpteen years ago and my trips were always done during sch holidays though.

@ryansofly Год назад

This rate was a one way... Because I was headed to KL to catch my flight home to Australia.

In Singapore time to spend it outside with the family. Missed Singapore and Malaysia.

You're right. Christmas is more of an outside activity in SG and KL. But here in Australia, it is incredibly quiet because Xmas is a time for you to celebrate with family.

If you need to use the toilet, just tell the bus driver and he will stop at the nearest rest stop. There are many along the way so you need not worry about having to hold it in for too long.

The border crossing can get pretty jammed at times. But it's always nice to do when you're not in a rush.

Its the luck of draw really. On a weekday mid morning is fine. But hit a public holiday, you're in for a jam of epic proportions. I was once caught at the border jam for 8 hours.

Dang I was hoping to be the first to comment! Seriously interested in watching this review. I've worked in SIN and visited Malaysia so many times during my expat life. However, I've only ever flown so this is a first for me. Drag queen door bitch! HAHAHAHA HOLY MOLY! This is not a coach/bus, this is a throne on wheels. Why would anyone want to be on the lower deck? Upper deck all the way. This is better than most business class. 370km is nothing to us aussies. Detained in immigration...Border Security! Sigh...wish i was back there. I would rather have that little Malaysian bento box over anything Matt Moran dishes up. HAHA Seriously this is SO WORTH the price. I would actually do this too, like you said, if I'm not in a rush. Seriously so excited to follow your foodie adventure in Malaysia.

@ryansofly 2 года назад

Hahahahahaha.... Yeah there was one reply before the video premiered. I actually preferred to drive to KL when work sent me there previously. I would be there in 4 hours max. About the same time as my colleagues who flew. And I get the benefit of using a car to drive around. Back then there were no trains, KL Sentral, Grab etc... Hahahaha Matt Moran, I only mentioned him because I've always had a huge crush on him. Plus, I've had his beef cheeks in SQ JCL of all places. Yummo... Yes, next episode is finally my KL foodie one. Can't believe how quickly time flies... I'm already coming to the end of this series already!

@JaswantSingh-ym9zo Год назад

It is true that there are no direct trains from Singapore to KL, but to say they all depart after 11 pm, I don't know where you got your information from. The only train that departs that late is the Eastern Orient Express, and I don't think you will want to take that train. The price of the ticket is not worth it. But as you mentioned, yes ,you will have to take more than one train from Singapore to KL. First the train to Johor Bahru. The trains depart on an hourly basis beginning from 6 am. You cannot buy tickets in advance. You go to the railway station, buy the ticket and board the train. At JB, you can then buy a train ticket to Gemas. The earliest train leaves JB at 8:30 am and reaches Gemas at 1:15 pm.. You can then take the ETS from Gemas which departs Gemas at 3: 20 pm and reaches KL at 8 pm. Considering the total time taken, which would be at least 12 hours, it would be much faster to take a bus from Singapore. which takes only 6 hours, less if you are lucky, although some bus companies may claim they take a much lesser time, but from my experience, the last time being just last month, having travelled numerous times, none have ever delivered on this claim. And I am talking about travelling on a weekday during off peak hours, like the bus leaving Singapore at 9:45 am. Delays at the immigration is a normal affair. SGD $60 is a pretty good price for a luxury coach. Thanks for sharing

@ryansofly Год назад

Ah! Didn't know it was walk up only! That explains a lot. I was trying to book individual journeys online and the only departure was after 11pm from JB Sentral. Which made no sense. Thanks for clearing it up!

@JaswantSingh-ym9zo Год назад

@@ryansofly The 11 pm train is the Senandung Malam or night express. For this train you have to book the sleeper in advance or you will have to sit through the whole night. Not very appealing either. The best train service by KTM is the ETS. Unfortunately it will take more than a year before it finally reaches JB. Also the service from Gemas to KL does not include free WiFi, whereas from KL northwards it does.
