Kuala Lumpur to Malacca Destination Reviews

EG
I took a two-way ticket but eventually only did the return trip by bus. The outbound bus was very late so I took a Grab not to lose time. The return bus was a bit late too but it was ok, about 20-30 minutes only. The ride itself was smooth, the buses are comfortable, so no issues about that. And it is very cheap of course. I would recommend it overall, unless of course you have a significant time constraint :)

Bus was clean and driver safe, but our bus was “delayed” for half an hour and were sent on the next one. It was weird that we kept our seats on the following bus… It really seemed as if our bus had just sold a couple of tickets and so we were relocated on the next one. Would have been nice to get an email or a text message notifying the change

While the bus arrived on time and was very comfortable, the A/C vent above my head had the part missing that allows you to close the vent. Because of this I had to sit for 2.5 hours with freezing cold air blasting on my head. Had this not have happened I would have given 5 Stars but the journey was unbearable because of it.
