Sweet surprise from Transtar! Best trip yet on the new 2nd-Gen First Class Solitaire Suites Coach 

Terima kasih di atas sokongannya :)

Thank you :)

You're right.

How did you book a ticket?

Thank you very much. I appreciate that :)

Thank you very much! Glad that you enjoyed it :)

Thank you too for watching the video :)

Waalaikumussalam. Terima kasih kerana sudi singgah.

Welcome aboard! :)

Thank you for watching :)

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching :)

Yep, but I wished to see more MANs in Indonesia and more Volvos in Malaysia.

@@jomnaikbas that's unique. When my country have more Volvo buses than MAN buses and your country have more MAN buses than Volvo buses.

Our pleasure :)

Thank you too for watching :)

@@jomnaikbas Your welcome... must visit Malaysia some time

The chassis was ordered and entered assembly line before the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2019.

Hi there! On this trip, there were only Singaporeans and Malaysians onboard. But yes, passengers getting left behind by their bus is very common. Generally, drivers will give a grace period of about 15 mins, and in some rare cases slightly longer. Many of these cases happened when passengers are stuck at the immigration, mainly due to incomplete travel documentations and visa.

It’s brand-new, just began operations a couple of weeks back.

Waalaikumussalam Wr Wb. Sure, and I hope you will enjoy the trip :)

Thank you :)

I'm not exposed that much to long-distance Yutong/King Long coaches, so I can't comment on these chassis. However, for the more mainstream models, I prefer the suspension of MAN and Volvo coaches, as compared to Scanias. I find the former to be more soft and reacts well to uneven and bumpy road surfaces.

AHH380 is currently a spare bus.

Hi there! To answer your first question, only Berjaya Times Square Hotel and Apartments can be accessed directly to the drop-off/pick-up point for Transtar Express services. There are other hotels served by other operators such as: - Swiss-Garden, Ancasa, Dorsett, Tribeca Suites, Capri by Frasers, Ritz-Carlton, Melia, Berjaya Times Square, Hilton, Le Meridien and Aloft Kuala Lumpur served by Cityline Travel. - Dorsett, Tribeca Suites, Capri by Frasers, Ritz-Carlton, Melia and Berjaya Times Square served by Luxury Coach Service. - Berjaya Times Square, Hilton, Le Meridien and Aloft Kuala Lumpur served by KKKL Travel and Express. - Corus Hotel served by Aeroline. Do note though that some of these hotels are located within favourable walking distance to the respective operators' designated drop-off/pick-up points. On to your second question, I'm afraid I'm not that well-verse to recommend such places to you. However, I would highly recommend KL Foodie on Facebook. They regularly showcases pretty good food joints in and around Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur is now better connected to the surrounding suburban areas with the full opening of the Putrajaya MRT Line, in addition to the existing Kajang MRT, Kelana Jaya LRT, Ampang and Sri Petaling LRT lines. Many of these stations are either directly connected to malls or are linked with bus services. Some of the malls that comes to mind are 1 Utama, MyTown, Pavilion Bukit Jalil and of course many others. Even Sunway Pyramid! Hope that helps. :)

Hi. There are no prayer facility at the rest stop but there are halal food stalls.

Semoga niatnya bisa tercapai secepatnya :)

Tidak ada masalah.

It was kept as a spare bus a few months ago. Not sure of its current status.

Hi. They are the same actually. All Solitaire coaches are of the Solitaire Suites type. The previous generation of Solitaire coaches have been retired.

Each online booking comes with seat selection. So you get to choose your preferred seat in advance.

Their ticketing office is located at Grantral Mall near MacPherson Road. There is no toilet in the bus though.

There are no services between Singapore and KLIA. You would need to go to Larkin Sentral in Johor Bahru.

you got mobile data why use wifi, lousy man

Unfortunately, the only coaches with toilets on the Singapore routes are operated by Aeroline as of now. There are newly launched double-decker coaches with toilets but are serving routes to Kelantan from Kuala Lumpur, operated by Konsortium eMutiara.

:O

Hi! Aeroline operates coaches with onboard toilet.

More information available in the video’s description.

The terminal is located in the capital Kuala Lumpur, hence it is far from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

@@jomnaikbas Thanks

Pleasure. Happy to help :)

Sorry to learn of your bad experience. Hope you got the compensation you deserve.

The bus did not travel beyond 110km/h.

All you need to know is in the video :)

They were introduced about 16 years ago, some time in 2007-2008.

@@jomnaikbas What happened to PC55L and PC5G 1st gen were they scrapped?

There were another 2 coaches of the same model as PC55L 1st gen PC2P

And PC77Z which is now a Sunlong Scania K360IB

Duly noted sir :D

Khidmat Solitaire Suites hanya tersedia pada laluan Kuala Lumpur-Singapura-Kuala Lumpur, dan Singapura-Genting Highlands-Singapura.

Only Aeroline provide toilets on their buses.

There used to be a toilet onboard many long-distance coaches in Malaysia. But poor maintenance and complains plus the availability of lay-bys along the highways led to their disappearance. But recently, there is an increasing number of operators choosing to fit their new coaches with toilets again.

@@jomnaikbas Thank you for your interesting reply. Myself being in my early sixties and diabetic type 2, I would be using the coach companies witch have a toilet pm board. Thank you for producing the video

Thank you too for taking time to watch the video :)

You can check at Easybook.com.

Thank you :)

bukan nak kata org singapore tak pandai masak nasi Lemak tapi kalau sedap banyak di malaysia lah,,you corner ikut mana pun still malaysia the best nasi lemak,,

Harga tiket berubah-ubah mengikut musim seperti cuti sekolah, cuti umum/pelepasan am dan sebagainya. Boleh rujuk di Easybook/BusOnlineTicket/redBus untuk kepastian mengenai harga tiket.

No, there is no wifi.

Unfortunately, there's no toilet on the bus.

@@jomnaikbas that’s sad which bus has toilets?

It has been that way since the first generation of these coaches were introduced more than 20 years ago. However, we understand that the next batch of coaches will come with toilets and is expected to be rolled out by the end of the year.

10 minit hanya sebagai anggaran. Selalunya bas akan bergerak selepas 15 minit atau lebih.

Trmksh tuan
