Wolfgang WEverything was ok. Seats in the front row. You couldn't stretch your feet out completely, but you could see a bit towards the front. For the approx. 1.5 hour trip completely ok. Bus was very punctual.

Lisa DDelayed by an hour with no notice... this didn't bother me as much as the replacement vehicle was below the standard I had booked. No electric sockets, no WiFi and 4 seats per row not 3. The replacement vehicle also made mechanical grinding noises like it needed repairing and it was crowded.

Marwa LSuper-comfortable bus. Seat that extends when there's no one behind you. USB socket for charging your phone. Air-conditioned bus. RAS.
Only downside, a short stopover (to pick up other people) that they hadn't informed me about.

Caroline MWe bought the ticket online and at the station we got a physical ticket. With that one, we were able to enter the gate area. The bus left Melaka on time and was nice and comfy. We arrived 20 min early in KL, so we had a really good experience.
