Odyssey Prestige Coaches was one of the premium players on the Singapore - KL route, originally operating between Avenue K and the now-defunct Copthorne Orchid Hotel Singapore. Their last route was between eCurve and Balestier Plaza, before pulling out of the Singapore market totally. Today, Odyssey Prestige Coaches operates the local Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) … Continue reading Odyssey Prestige Coaches: Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) to Melaka Sentral by Bus
By now you might be a little bit bored of these bus trip reports, since I'm almost loyal to one bus company only for the overnight ride from Singapore to KL, but I'll just do it anyway. Starmart has new 12.45am departures from Singapore because, I guess, the super frequent midnight departures are still insufficient … Continue reading Starmart Express: Golden Mile Tower Singapore to KL Sentral by Bus
Heading to KL again, I was definitely not going to get the train after what I had experienced, so I went back to my old reliable Starmart Express. This time though, Starmart has new 12.45am departures, so I opted for that as I didn't want a super early start in KL for this trip. As … Continue reading Starmart Express: Golden Mile Tower Singapore to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) by Bus
From the very familiar Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS), KLIA and klia2 airport connectivity is also available not just only from the expensive KLIA Transit airport train but also by Jetbus, allowing a pre-airport airport experience, cheaper long-term parking and connectivity from long-distance buses coming from everywhere in Malaysia, Southern Thailand and Singapore. Click here to find … Continue reading Jetbus: Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) to klia2 and KLIA by Bus
Since the long weekend of Hari Raya Aidilfitri was approaching, against all advisories to travel up north to Malaysia with the traffic jams at both checkpoints, I decided to go to Kuala Lumpur anyway. But wisely of course. Instead of getting a bus from Singapore, I opted to get the 1.30pm Shuttle Tebrau to JB Sentral … Continue reading Transnasional: Johor Bahru to Kuala Lumpur by Bus
After making my selection of less crowded buses since my initial Eltabina Express was cancelled, I settled for Billion Stars and got a RM1.50 refund for the fare difference, thinking that how bad could it further get as long as I get moving at midnight. Another slight boo-boo on TBS's side, my boarding pass was … Continue reading Billion Stars Express: Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru and Singapore by Night Bus
Eltabina Express apparently plies the route from Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) in Kuala Lumpur to Larkin Sentral in Johor Bahru and Textile Centre in Singapore via Woodlands Checkpoint. The only difference about the route on my day of departure was that I got nowhere from TBS. After getting my boarding pass, I made my way … Continue reading Eltabina Express cancelled their bus on me.
Pacific Express is one of the newer companies to operate independently to Singapore, but brings its bad habits overseas nonetheless. The only reason I took it was because it was around half the price as all other bus company tickets on Easybook on my day of departure, and I learnt that paying the usual standard price is … Continue reading Pacific Express: Another Bus Ride from Hell
Qistna Express is the estranged sister company of Starmart, which can possibly stay afloat in the long-run only due to the success of the said parent company. Even with all the negative comments online and bad press, I tried it for myself anyway - and learnt that online reviews are pretty accurate. Qistna departs from … Continue reading Qistna Express: Truly the Bus Ride from Hell
Another long-time player in the bus market in Malaysia, Sri Maju has daily services between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore via Johor Bahru (Larkin) and Woodlands Checkpoint. The journey starts from Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) where almost all buses to all destinations from KL depart from. Many screens around the terminal inform you of your bus … Continue reading Sri Maju: Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru and Singapore by Bus
