What are the Bus Classes & Prices of KPB Express?
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.

Albert HThe bus started on time and had comfortable seats. The bus driver drove also safe and was friendlier than other bus drivers we experienced. We arrived a bit after scheduled time at KL (~30 minutes) but as it was a Friday afternoon and a lot of traffic this is probably difficult to avoid. So overall good experience.

Claudia BThe bus was delayed by more than an hour. It seemed like two buses were combined, as the one we booked didn’t appear to be very full. The footrest on my seat was broken, but apart from that the seats were extremely comfortable, and it was great that you could charge your phone on board

gary DHesitant at first when booking, so only booked one way ticket. Only issue was I booked and selected seats and whilst sat on bus, another male turned up and had same seat number on his ticket. Driver sorted it so no real drama. Clean coach, loads of room, comfy seats, air con great, journey time was less than stated. Couldn't fault it really, so much so, have now booked a return journey.

William BBus was nice enough but the journey time was completely inaccurate. It took over 4 hours and was supposed to take around 2. Traffic was minimal so don’t see how we would have ever arrived in the time they said.

Marie TTwo bus drivers took turns on the more than twelve-hour journey. There were regular toilet breaks. There were USB ports at the seat, so I could charge my mobile phone. The seats were unfortunately a bit uncomfortable overnight, the footrest could have gone higher and the seat lower. But most importantly, at every take-off they checked that everyone was there. When entering Thailand, my child and I took the longest because we were the only non-Thai. The Stuart was waiting for us at the exit and took us back to the bus. The border doesn't open until 6am Malaysian time, which is why we arrived at 7:30. Because of a marathon, however, not at the bus station, but somewhere in the city. But the bus driver couldn't help that. Overall, everything went smoothly and everyone was reliable and friendly, even though I couldn't sleep. In Johor Bahru Larkin Sentral, printing costs 2 ringgit per ticket.
