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. Sanwa Tours offers bus service with an online reservation available. Before booking your ticket, read other travellers’ reviews to choose the best option.
What are the Main Stations of Sanwa Tours?
Sanwa Tours operates buses to and from the following stations:
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.

Reservations are not reliable. If the bus operator decides not to operate, than you have to switch to a new plan.
Travel plans are hard to make under these conditions.

No A/C during the trip.
And the bus announced at 5:30 pm at KL and we arrived at 7:00. We missed our important meeting.
So very bad experience.

The bus came like last time too late. The trip lasted much longer than 5 hours. Don't know why it's called 'Express'. Last time 7 hours, this time 6,5 hours. One stop for the toilet, I had to ask for a second one.

The bus was not on time because the driver and his partner needed to stop to have lunch at 12:00 a.m. We were stopped 30 mins and the bus arrived so late. Moreover, the bus so old and unconfortable. Too cold inside (everywhere in Malaysia).

The bus was not clean and made so much noise it was hard to sleep. Also, the bus driver randomly stopped twice without saying anything and then went out to get food for himself while we had to wait in the bus

The ride was comfortable with enough stops during these 6hours. We were a little late in KL but ok.
Bad thing (and 5 others) booked a ride to Kuala Lumpur Sentral Station, but we’re dropped off at the Bus Terminal a little more outside the city. The driver just told us this is his last stop and if we want to go further we have to look for another bus. Then he just left us there.
Not sure if this is his fault or wrong information on the website.
