What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Alisan Coach?
The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!
Pros & Cons of Bus Travel
Pros of Bus Travel
Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train
Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel
Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about
At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.
Cons of Bus Travel
Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.
During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.
While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

Bus was perfect: comfortable, clean and exactly what was shown in pictures. Drivers were nice and informed everything to passengers. Waiting area before departing, even though it is not in a bus station, felt like one.

The bus arrived 4 hours before expected which meant we had nowhere to stay when we arrived because we had planned being on the bus where we would sleep!

We traveled from Hat Yai to Kuala Lumpur - no complaints, we sat on the front seats, which reclined a lot, were soft and comfortable, it was possible to stretch your legs, charge your phone and even wifi! From minuses only that there is no dry rations and that in Malay buses there is no toilet. But this is not even a minus, as there are several stops to the toilet, and the bus does not have a terrible smell of toilet. To summarize: Stock up on food and water on the road, but I highly recommend this carrier.

Everything is fine. Except for one very unpleasant fact that the border with Thailand opens at five in the morning, and the ticket indicated this time as the time of arrival in Hatiai. In the end, with all of us standing in the lobby for three hours and with all the delays the bus arrived in Hatiai only at 8 am, which almost caused us to miss the next flight already booked.

Bon voyage, pour un trajet de nuit. Excellent passage de frontière. L'arrivée à TBS nécessite toutefois une préparation pour rejoindre le centre-ville.

The seats are very comfortable. As I traveled alone, I chose the single seat in the online booking which was smooth. It was a night trip so when I requested to change my destination from hentian duta to TBS, they said fine. If I changed the time though, I have to pay 10 MYR more. I was a bit worried because the bus has no terminal and passengers has to stay in a waiting area/office and I wasn't given an instruction like this. I thought that there will be a terminal for the bus to wait. Everything went well after the motorcycle brought me to the office and charged me 100baht. Thank you for the safe trip.

The location of the office where the ticket exchange service is located was difficult to find on the website.
I asked a motorcycle cab man to take me there.
I think they should put an easy-to-understand map on the website, but 90% of the passengers are Malaysian.
I wonder if they know what they are doing.

The wall plug to charge phone was not working and when the bus people was asked they said they did not switch it on. The signal for the bus's WiFi was not good. There was no passenger seat belt.

So we were ask to check in 30mins before departure time most of us reached at 11.30pm but the bus were late for about 40minutes so what’s the point for us to check in early ? And also the bus wasn’t service or check before departing it broked down after 1hour and half from departure point and passenger end up waiting in the bus for 40mins with no reason given I felt lucky because the bus was fixed after that but what if the bus couldn’t be fix so we need to wait how many hours ? Then we are supposed to reach at 8.30am in the morning but we end up reach at 1.00pm wasted a lot of time on all this issues.
Few recommendations
1. Be punctual
2. Service or check up your vehicles before departure

For that price I didn’t expect great wonders. The bus was late to begin with, like everything else in Asia - so not very suprised. The bus stopped quite a lot for both unknown reasons and for a number of passengers who needed to smoke. We also arrived later than planned. My guess is that they don’t include the immigration in their calcuation which then always sets them back at least 45 min in schedule depending on the wait. But after all, we got from Kuala Lumpur to Hat yai safe and sound, for a good price.

Very confusing journey. The bus kept stopping and at one stop it appeared that the bus had broken down and the driver was taking parts off the bus and putting them back for quite some time but we were given no information. We ended up being on the coach for nearly 11 hours when it was meant to be an 8 hour journey and we weren't given any estimates on when we'd arrive which meant we checked in late and couldn't let our host know. Was all quite frustrating.

Departure was actually scheduled at 8.45, but only at 9 o'clock we were driven by tuktuk to the bis which was waiting a little outside. In addition, very many breaks and thus with 3.5 h delay in Kuala Lumpur. But the seats were good and also the air conditioning worked. Food and drinks could be bought at the rest stops.

We were supposed to catch the 10:45 bus.
They made us believe that the bus was late, in fact ours was empty and we took the 12:45 bus.
They promise wifi on the bus when you arrive in Malaysia, a pack of lies.
However, the bus is comfortable and clean

A very nice and comfortable bus.
The only thing that I dislike is that the driver keeps smoking once in a while (although there's a non-smoking sign above his head). Every time he smokes, the air con will be set to exhaust the smoke's odor. But I sat on the front line, right behind the driver so it doesn't fix anything.
That's a thing to be noticed.
The rest of the trip gone smoothly.

I don't know why the name is "VIP" they promised even food and toilet, but wasn't like that.
The radio was too loud and the driver was talking by cell phone for long periods of time.
The Wifi, air-condition was fine.
