Stephan WService fee at the ticket counter after booking online (in Kuala Lumpur it was not necessary). Too cold bus. Great and easy terminals.

Desiree DThe bus departed one hour later than scheduled time. Together with the weekend jam, I barely made it on time for the last ferry into penang island, and suffice to say, I totally couldn’t show up for an important appointment. The driver/driver companion was smoking in the bus, and since my seat was right in front, it was super uncomfortable for me. I also had to pee, and told them about it early, but since the nearest petrol station was a bit inconvenient for them to stop, they asked me to wait even longer until they reached a nearby rest stop. Not my best bus experience…
