What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Plusliner?

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 journey was advertised as taking under around 3.5 hours. It took over 5.5 hours, pretty nearly 2 hours late, and there were no delays along the way. There is realistically no way the journey could have been completed in the time advertised.

Bus was late at pick up and over half an hour at destination. Interior was very worn and broken tray on seat which left sharp edges.

Bus was very late. The driver made an extra stop somewhere in the middle of nowhere for 15 minutes. No idea why. The driver was also on his phone in the middle of traffic. We felt unsafe.

Driver was on his phone watching tiktok and calling someone. Didn't appear to be a very talented driver, sometimes had trouble to shift gear correctly. The bus AC water dropped on me but luckily this happened only 3-5 times on the 2h30min trip.

The price of the ticket online at 12Go is close to the price at the ticket counter. But you have to pay extra 2 RM per ticket to print boarding pass. Because the PDF file that your receive from 12Go doesn't allow you to check in. The bus was late for 40 minutes from the schedule time. It made us worry a little bit. But, except this everything was ok.

It's still necessary in 2026 to print the voucher and to pick up your ticket at the counter even when you already payed online. Why is not possible to receive a QR Code or something else and get your ticket immediatly per Mail? Additionaly we arrived 2 hrs late at our destination and the bus was not really clean. The curtains on my window where covered with something that looked like tomato sauce.

I probably should have given a 2, but I guess we should have know better about the promised time the trip would take. It should have been a 4 or so hour trip between Georgetown and Kuala Lumpur - it ended up being 7 or so and then we weren’t even taken to the station for which we bought the ticket. The bus was comfortable though and there was a lot of traffic, so the length of the trip couldn’t really be helped. The bus driver was very gruff and when we didn’t understand why we weren’t going to the correct station, he was very polite. They did offer a shuttle - which would have added even more time. We opted for a Grab instead.

We had two good experiences traveling with Plusliner during our trip in Malaysia. We took their buses twice: once from Kuala Perlis to Penang, and another time from Penang to Kuala Lumpur. Both journeys went very smoothly. The buses were clean, comfortable, and departed on time. The seats made the trips pleasant even on longer routes. We also appreciated the careful and safe driving of the driver, which made us feel relaxed throughout the journey. Overall, a reliable and comfortable bus company that we would definitely recommend for traveling around Malaysia.

The booking was easy and checkin was straight forward but we were not dropped at KL Sentral. Instead dropped at a different bus stop15minutes away from Sentral. The bus driver ushered everyone off the bus and told us another bus would pick us up, it did not. We ended up getting a taxi to sentral. Not had this issue before (using 12go) and think it was the bus operator.

Overall, everything went well. We had two stops on our trip. The busdriver went out without telling us how long we gonna pause here and whether there is the option to go on toilet. Just the bus driver was very egoistic and took that opportunity. Everyone else stayed in the bus because of the fear to be left behind.

It's three different buses. First from sentral to the bus station (20 min), then waiting (45 min), the a bus to Ipoh and then a bus to Lumut. Whole trip took two hours more than anticipated. The buses were ok regarding space and cleanliness.
