Malacca to Kuala Lumpur Destination Reviews

MT
Marcus T
Coach was not equipped with USB charger, no net in front of the seats to stow small items during travel. Generally it appeared there are no overhead compartments to put backpacks. A/C was chilly. Compared to the ride from KL there seems to be a wide range of busses and quality can differ. On another note, the information desk at Malacca Sentral was not occupied. Neither at arrival nor departure.

Bus was clean and comfortable, ride was good and quick. It was tricky finding where to go at Melaka Central, and we were initially given incorrect instructions at a ticket booth. It would be good if the driver said "this bus is going to Kuala Lumpur" or similar confirmation we were on the right bus. There was no communication from driver at all. It was a little difficult getting on the bus due to the steps and different levels at the platform.

We had bought our tickets online. At the station, we first had to go to a counter to exchange our digital tickets for printed ones. After that, we could go through the gates, although they didn’t work at first. Our 11:30 AM bus had apparently been combined with the 11:15 AM bus. We even asked the staff what time our bus would leave and showed them our tickets. They told us it would depart at 11:30 AM. The station itself was very chaotic. All the buses arrived except ours, and nothing showed up at the platform listed on our ticket. Eventually, they called out our names over the loudspeaker. That’s when we found out that our bus was actually leaving at 11:15 AM from a different platform. This was never communicated to us, nor was it displayed anywhere. It was nice that they called our names so we didn’t miss the bus, but overall the experience was very chaotic and confusing.
