What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Mandalar Minn 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.

The bus was VERY comfortable. In fact, we were actually really surprised as to how comfortable it was: the seats reclined all the way back to an almost lying-down positions, screens with movies, radio and games, water, snacks. Even more comfortable than the plane we were on on our way to Myanmar. HOWEVER: the noise was CONSTANT. I think Burmese people are used to city noise so silence is a luxury they might not be able to afford, so they don't see the harm in being noisy. A family with a child behind us were playing YouTube videos for hours with their speaker on right behind us, the driver had his radio on so loudly for the whole 11-hour night ride, yet he was talking with the hostess even louder during the ENTIRE ride. Let me tell you one thing: we did not get ANY sleep. The reason we booked a night ride was that we had a lot to do in the morning / the next day and wanted to take any opportunity we could to sleep. Well, we didn't. So despite the luxury and the comfort of the vehicle, we were really disappointed in our experience.

It was very hard to find a right bus operator. The bus station expanded for several streets.
The bus was very comfortable. Water, blanket was included.
Two stops with the toilet.
Inside the bus was very cold and a/c was working all the way.

They came to pick me up to my hotel for free. (You need to call them for pick up, though).
Very comfortable seat, with thick blanket. They offerred nice hot coffee before departure, and nice cold towel and toothbrush, etc. for 30-minute break. Everyone needs to get off the bus for the 30-minutes break for security reasons (as the driver locks the door).

nice, big chairs (which you can adjust according to your needs), during trip we got water, fanta, some snacks, can watch movies and listen to the music. The only small minus was very weak english of the stuff but honestly speaking- not necessery part.

12Go is really helping with the ticket, though this time kinda' late in processing, and it will be great if you guys ask me about the seat before booking it ????
As for the bus, everything is ok, but the leg space is quite close and it's really tiring for the leg, especially for 5-6 hours ride ????

The ride was nearly perfect. On time, great service, snack & water provided, good driver & comfy chairs that reclined well. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the aircon which made it a freezing cold ride and that there wasn’t a bathroom on board as advertised. Other than that great trip!

We traveled from Yangon to Dawei by bus (deluxe) and it went better than expected. The driver seemed very experienced and we arrived only 30 mins later than scheduled for a 600km ride.
The staff was friendly and the stops for toilet-breaks (there's NONE on the bus) came regularly every 2-3 hours. We received a bottle of water, a coffee and a small snack before we departed. I recommend not to drink too much because some roads are quite bumpy and you might get sick. Multimedia didn't work on our journey. No music was played luckily. It was quite cold due to high A/C but they offer blankets. Bring an inflatable pillow and relax in the huge seats. You will hardly find any sleep but it's an experience and costs only 20€. We wanted to take the train which was supposed to take 24h but it wasn't on service and we didn't regret to reduce the traveling time by 50%.

No one, including 12Go, informed us that a photo copy of our passport stamp page was required. We were 1.5 hours early, and still were nearly removed from our seats at the last minute. One of the employees took our passports to get photocopied at the very last possible minute. The seats were comfortable though.

Die Fahrt dauert 11 Stunden. Die Zeitangabe der Ankunft auf dem 12go Asia Ticket (5.30am) ist kaum realistisch. Es werden zwei Stopps zur Verpflegung eingelegt (Abendessen und Morgenessen). Die Strecke von Hpa An bis Myawaddy ist sehr holprig. An Schlaf ist ab dann (ca. 3.00 am) kaum mehr zu denken. Die Sitze sind sehr bequem, und es werden sogar Einzelsitze angeboten.

Bus was on time, staff were friendly and it was a comfortable journey.
On board there were blankets on each seat, a bottle of water, a snack and a TV and headset to watch movies or listen to music.
Air conditioning worked well and wasn't too cold but this may be as we were travelling during the day.
We had one rest stop of 30 mins when we were given a toothbrush and toothpaste and a wet towel.
Driving was a bit careless, braking at the last minute and lots of being thrown around the bus, especially when there are no seatbelts on board.
Overall a good experience and a comfortable journey but just 1 toilet stop over 7 hours was not enough. There should be at least 2 stops.

Got picked up at hotel by bus company staff to terminal. Comfy seats, hot coffee before departure..snacks and extra drinks were distributed. Stopped for a meal and continue journey. Over all pleasant ride from 9pm to 6am.

Bus was in great condition, very comfortable. My only suggestions would be to have wifi on the bus and help foreigners get off at the right stop by letting them know which is their’s - sometimes it can be difficult to hear the driver shouting which stop it is and with no signage/speaking another language it is tricky.

I bought an express ticket from Bagan to Aung Mingular but instead this bus makes multiple stops along the way to pickup random people by the roadside. I think this wasted time and we were not informed about it. The music is turned on super loud and it was only lowered after we complained. On a 9 hour bus ride, you tend to want to get some sleep but this was impossible due to the loud music. The bus conductor also did not tell us how long a stop would be, so we had to constantly check so that we can manage time and not get left behind. I know its an economy ticket but the cleanliness on the bus really does need to be improved.

一人席で良かったのですが、ネット上で書いてあったようなVIPに伴うWIFIやコンセント完備ではありませんでした。深夜バスなのに休憩時間ごとに起こされて(12時、4時)全員外の休憩所に待機させられるのも疲れる要因となりました。トイレはなく、バスの電気を全て消してエンジンを休ませるのが目的なのだそうですが(そうしないとエンジンが爆発すると言うことです)日本円で約2000円でこのクオリティは…と考えてしまいます。隣国タイと比べてしまうからかもしれません。ミャンマーも発展しつつある国ですから、今後の改善に期待したいと思います。

Bus VIP 27, Mandalar Minn Express, Apr 29, 2019
A lot of stops in the middle of the night and I, and 2 other random passengers, were very nauseous with the windy roads on the way back down.
So:
- If you get carsick I do not recommend taking this bus BACK to Yangon. Going up was fine however.
- All staff was super friendly and helpful in giving English instructions to us. Took care of me when I was sick too.
- Food is simply a sweet jam bun, super sweet french toast, an orange soft drink and plenty of water.
- Entertainment is limited to about 20 movies.
Overall a good trip for my boyfriend and I, minus the carsickness.
