Butterworth to Kuala Lumpur Destination Reviews

A
I won’t suggest you to book this bus at all. Bus came 1:30 hrs late also bus staff had assigned my seat to someone else. When I asked then he suggested me and wife should be sitting at single seats because it was occupied by local Malaysian folks. Even people who were sitting at our seat were rude and inconsiderate.

I'm really glad I booked through 12go.asia (rather than another 3rd party booking site). It made everything very easy! I wasn't able to use my card internationally on the local sites, so I had to book through other means. 12go.asia didn't have all the transit options in Malaysia, but it had enough for me to be able to make a decent decision / weigh options, and it immediately confirmed my ticket with the provider I was booking with. They also give you a ton of information when you book (the specific counter check in, the bus, the time, if you need a passport, etc), which was also really helpful. The bus itself was extremely comfortable. Lot of legroom, separate vents / lights, etc. So yeah, overall it was a great experience! I'd definitely use them again. Thanks!

The bus was more than 4 hours late due to drivning on smaller roads rather than the highway.
