What are the Bus Classes & Prices of MG 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.

MG Travel Company Reviews

Communication with provider is bad. They do not reply to the contact numbers provided. It was not clear when booking that the transport is a minibus and that you have to arrange with them pick up and drop off points. Take into account that they do not speak english and you may need help to communicate (if you manage to find a different telephone o contact line). We managed to get the number of the driver and our hosts at Malang helped us to communicate. Arrival at pick up point was 2 hs late, you have to have faith they'll arrive. There is little space in the minibus for @12 hs trip. During the trip the driver will do a couple stops to use the toilet and also to have dinner. Dinner is included in the ticket price. If you're claustrophobic crossing with the ferry closed in the minibus without space to open a door could be a problem. In general we arrived safely to our destination, but would had been good to jave all this info before the trip.

It took twice as long to get to the destination. We thought it would take 6 hours but it took 11 hours. That’s not a pleasant surprise.
