The bus left on time but arrived an hour and a half late. A two-hour trip took almost three and a half hours.

Delayed leaving and arriving in Ipoh but summer holidays so was to be expected! Good communication from the driver about my stop and checking where I needed to get off. Seats very cramped though - especially if you're unlucky and the person in front fully reclines!
