About Plusliner

Buses are the most affordable means of transport with a large number of terminals across the country and convenient timetables to help you plan your trip. Buses is a convenient option both for those who travel on a shoestring budget and those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Plusliner offers bus service with an online reservation available. Before booking your ticket, read other travellers’ reviews to choose the best option.

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.

Overall, my experience was pleasant. We left from Sungai Nibong on time, however we arrived late to KTM Old Railway Station. We were suppose to arrive at 8:30pm and I think it was more like 9:45pm. It is important to know there are no toilets on the bus. There were two stop breaks along our journey. The first one was quite long (I feel it could have been shorter) it was around 30-45 min long. Everyone was back on the bus before the driver. And the second break was only 10 minutes. There were many fruit stalls at the first stop and the second stop had more cooked food, although I didn't see any vegetarian/vegan items. I recommend packing some of your own snacks before departing just so you have nourishment for your travel. It was a smooth journey and the bus was fairly empty. As a female solo traveler, I felt safe the entire time. I happened to sit near the front just out of convenience but I noticed that most women sit in the front, which is probably on the safer side. Also, it's important to know that there is FREE wifi at the KTM Old Railway Station in KL. I've been traveling without a sim so I am dependent on wifi. I was happy to know I could connect easily and call a grab from the station to my air bnb. Safe travels!

Incorrect pick up point details provided. Luckily we had a guide with us that drove us around and found the office which was on the other side of the freeway, which was NOT provided on the instructions. A call to the 12go hotline to confirm the pick up point did not give any help as the operator told us to “go to the exact location provided” which again we would surely missed our bus. Where we got our coach, there was no sign or notice, we just spotted it parked in a car park near the office we had found. Uncontrollable circumstances but I had sat in-front of a kid who thought that he was playing a game to see how long he could kick the back of my seat for and another passenger thought that he’d share the sound fx of his game with the whole bus for the whole ride. A part from the negatives above, the bus was air-conditioned and clean. The bus ride was actually smooth and dropped us at Penang Central right next to the Rapid ferry to Penang (although no announcement or staff to notify us this was actually our stop was provided) but that is why ive given 2 instead of 1 star.

At first, the system showed one gate to go, then it was changed to another gate and without any notice, the bus came to totally different gate. In top of all, the bus was a little late. At least, luckily I got to the bus, so...everything ended well :D

The bus was the most fanciest bus I have ever been on! Loads of legroom, cup and phone holders, USB charger, foot rests, seat storage, a mixture of leather and fabric seat that recline. It was like the first class travel of coaches and the four hours flew by. I would've given it five stars by the waiting lounge at Nice bus station looks like it's falling apart and the bus was 15 mins late.

We enjoyed our bus journey and had a very considerate, helpful bus driver. Good local food and toilets available at 30 minute stop. Air con was set too low and we were cold... you need extra layers of clothing for this bus ride!

The bus was already delayed by 30 minutes in Kuala Lumpur. The waiting area es very poor. On the way we have stopped once and the driver said: 20 minutes. After 40 minutes he has finally appeared with 2 big bags. Finally we have arrived 2 hours later than planned to Penang.

it was really hard to find the pickup point, because the plusliner office was so small and looked from outside like there hasnt been anyone inside since 5 years. we headed to the other side and they showed us where it was but the pedestrians couldnt help us. NOTICE it is just a small shop and a pickup point - not a bus station! the bus was 2hrs late and we didn’t get an email. the bus was really disgusting but the ticket was cheap and the ride okay. all in all its okay but if you dont know the place its really hard to find.

The bus and personnel were awesome. I'd just recommend to improve the old terminal facilities since they were quite disattended. Specially the toilets.

Bus was slightly late but that was fine as we were too! Very spacious coach with curtains which is good if you want to nap. I wouldn’t recommend the back row of seats as you are much higher up than the rest and feel EVERY single bump in the road, we were flying out of our seats at one point! Other than that, good and very reasonably priced journey.

The bus is good and everything way on time. 1 stop between for the toilet was enough.
