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.

KPB Express Company Reviews

Everything 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.

Two 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.

Bud set off on time, seats were unbelievably comfy and spacious, driver thought he was gods gift, always very rude and unpleasant, I asked him to close his window because I was sat directly behind him and I was freezing but he wouldn’t close it he put his jacket on instead…? 10/10 for the strata though

Comfy bus, took just over an hour longer than it was meant to. The coordinate information for pick-up location on the ticket was incorrect so ask around to get to the correct place.

The bus left on time but the trip lasted for 7,5 hours instead of the estimated 5. There were random stops, especially in Butterworth.

Air-conditioning system too cold, we cannot do anything to stop it. It works in all the bus but it goes straight to your head and is too cold to stay there for hours. There were some things that were broken too. It was late.
