About CS Travel

Buses are the most affordable means of transport with a large number of terminals across the country and convenient timetables to help you plan your trip. Buses is a convenient option both for those who travel on a shoestring budget and those who do not want to compromise on comfort. CS Travel offers bus service with an online reservation available. Before booking your ticket, read other travellers’ reviews to choose the best option.

What are the Bus Classes & Prices of CS Travel?

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.

CS Travel Company Reviews

Bad organization and communication at the bus terminal in Ipoh, Bus had a delay of bit more than one hour, but arrived with a delay of only 50mins.
Bus Express, CS Travel, Mar 27, 2024

Yeah really good experience. Details all add up. You go to the immigration office in Langkawi 2 hours before, hand them your passport and fill out your immigration forums. Then you wait till 30 minutes before departure. The boat is big and spacious, didn’t feel the ocean much. Once you arrive at Koh lipe, you’ll get on a small boat for the last 2 minutes in, leave your baggage behind and do the pass control in Koh lipe as well, 200bht entry for everyone, but there is a atm there. Recommend sitting close to the doors/entry, so you get of early… as the que on land gets long. The staff was great all the way

It was a public holiday so we were stuck in really bad traffic, so it took 2h more than expected, other than that it was fine and I know it's a situation out of their control.

According to the ticket, it should have taken 1hr and 15min to get to Tanah Rata, but it took much longer than that. I wonder how you could give such times???

Good ride, only 5 minutes late. Drove quickly, it was 4h instead of 4h30-5h ride. Only annoying issue was the roof in the car who was not well fixed and made a lot of noise everytime there was a bump/hole in the road, and as all the roads were bad, we had non stop noise..

I would not recommend this bus company, or rather its driver. On the way up from Ipoh to Tanah Rata we had a different company with a driver who drove very gentle through the bendy mountains roads. This way back down the CS driver however, thought he was operating a fast motorcycle and drove like crazy. Several people got sick from it but he did not change a thing.

Bus was on time and took less time than estimated. 1 toilet break half way. Bus seats were huge and reclined really well with a foot rest. The driver drove really fast and wrecklessly. Very fast around tight corners and slammed on brakes. The seats were comfy but were loose and rocked back on forth every time we sped up / brakes. Also the booking said there would be stops for food but there was only 1 stop which was toilet cubicles and vending machines ( they only had drinks and ice creams in so not food…)

The bus arrived an hour and a half later than stated, we had no traffic on the way, so it seems the company needs to correct the expected arrival time!
