About Transnasional

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. Transnasional 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 Transnasional?

Transnasional operates buses to and from the following stations:

  • TBS Kuala Lumpur
  • Melaka Sentral
  • Mersing
  • Butterworth
  • Sungai Nibong
  • Larkin Bus Terminal

What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Transnasional?

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 full of cockroaches!!! Really unpleasant experience. I changed the seat but that didn't help. I travel a lot on public transport so totally get the buses or train might not be clean but I have never seen so many cockroaches. I will not use this provider again.

Driver hit big bump shortly after we departed from KT station with way to much speed, something broke on front left side of the bus, he stoped and made quick check and continued the road with awarenes that something wasnt right. We mDe around 300/350km with unknown damage on the wheels! After the other driver came to replace him, he realized that sound that was coming from under the bus surely isnt good so he finaly safely stoped the bus on first posible gas station and we had to wait for another bus to pick us up and take us to TBS Kuala Lumpur. The other bus was good.

Booking with 12go.asia was simple to handle and very quick reply. Bus is very comfortable. Only at checking in was not a friendly lady at all. She refused to look at me when I was asking her something even when i said "Lady, I am taking to you" she refused to do .. very impolite

Not enough stops on the bus only one 10minute stop. This lead to us arriving at our final destination 3hours too early, this wouldn’t have been a problem if it wasn’t 3:30am when we arrived! Not ideal for a girl traveling alone & having just arrived in a foreign country. Also the bus was very cold (probably about 10degrees different to that outside).

The ride was very comfortable, but there was a very anoying beeping the whole time. Without it I would give five stars, because the rest of the ride was good.

Der Bus war pünktlich (sogar auf die lange Strecke) und die Sitze recht gemütlich. Obwohl wir keine Plätze nebeneinander auf der Reservierung hatten, hat sich der Busfahrer dafür eingesetzt, dass wir doch nebeneinander sitzen konnten. Dafür gab es leider keine Ansage über Pausen.

Wir hatten eine Panne die nach ca 45 Minuten behoben wurde. Eigentlich kein Problem, da wir die Erfahrung bei fast allen Busfahrten gemacht haben. Allerdings ist der Bus am Grenzübergang Woodland einfach ohne uns abgefahren, da unsere Passkontrolle etwas länger gedauert hat. Ärgerlich da es dort weder Möglichkeiten zum Geldwechsel oder abheben gibt. Außerdem hat uns das natürlich nochmals eine Stunde gekostet. Empfehlung: immer rennen am Grenzübergang, sonst ist der Bus weg....

Comfortable seats, helpful staff, and a reliable journey time. The roads were well paved so no difficulties there. It was a bit confusing at first knowing how to check in or whether it was necessary but using my own intuition I found a counter and got the tickets printed.

The bus was ok... just feel a little bit strange when we arrive at the bus. Our number already been seated. The driver told us we can seat everywhere we want. But finnally we found out we are taking the wrong bus. It’s the officer at the boarding gate told us to get in that bus. I’ll already ask twice. When we arrive at Putrajaya, we just know that it’s the wrong bus. But the driver help ud to get in the next bus to our destination for free. Bus is recommended for clean smells good and AC is cold

I booked a more expensive ticket just for the comfort (wifi, snacks..) and well it didn't have anything, not even a USB plug to charge my phone. Plus, an unfriendly driver.

Well, we got there, hence the "2nd star". The following issues occurred: 1) The bus left 1.5 hours late. 2) When it started raining, the driver left the luggage compartment open on the side of the bus allowing many of the bags to get wet. 3) When entering the bus, the choice of music has many swear words and was quite vulgar. 4) For about half the trip, the driver and his companion talked so loudly it was hard to even think. 5) The bus was so cold (I'm normally a fan of a "cold drive", but, this was excessively cold!). 6) We arrived 2.5 hours late to our destination. 7) The driver answered phone calls while driving several times. ... I normally don't leave reviews, good or bad, but I just thought it should be known. And, in all fairness, the other time that we took Transnasional it was on time, comfortable, and a very good trip.

Very unfriendly busdriver! Bus was good, seats also. We made a little break and the busdriver didn’t say how long we would stay there. If my boyfriend didn’t stopped the bus he would have driven without me and it seems he doesn’t matter at all.

The first shift driver was smoking while driving. He smoked 3 times. In a/c vehicle that is bad for passengers.

The bus in general was ok, nothing compared to aeroline though. However the bus driver was totally unfriendly! There was an old lady with havy luggage, he rather stood outside smoking then helping here getting into the bus. We even got out at the wrong station, cause we didn't know there are two stops in KL and the bus driver didn't even say which stop it was. He really delivered poor service, such a shame.
