Everything went smoothly. The bus was comfy and we departed and arrived on time. The only thing is that during check in we had to pay a terminal extra fee but it was already stated in the voucher.

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!
