Butterworth to KL Sentral Destination Reviews

It's still necessary in 2026 to print the voucher and to pick up your ticket at the counter even when you already payed online. Why is not possible to receive a QR Code or something else and get your ticket immediatly per Mail? Additionaly we arrived 2 hrs late at our destination and the bus was not really clean. The curtains on my window where covered with something that looked like tomato sauce.

the travel and bus was completely fine, but the location for pick up was poorly described, the map location was the empty jasmine office, the address was a 15 minute walk for the actual location in the middle of nowhere and the actual place wasn’t on my ticket and in the ferry/bus terminal. All information concerning the pick up location was contradictory. Travel was good though, simple and decent bus

There was an hour delay and the last part of the trip was very uncomfortable. The bus seemed old and I think there was an issue with the engine since it jerked back and forth the whole time. At one point it even felt like we were not moving at all on the highway (we continuously moved forward and then stopt abruptly).

Overall, everything went well. We had two stops on our trip. The busdriver went out without telling us how long we gonna pause here and whether there is the option to go on toilet. Just the bus driver was very egoistic and took that opportunity. Everyone else stayed in the bus because of the fear to be left behind.

Average experience. Bus wasn't as advertised and was tired. Arrived nearly 1 hour later to the final destination. Seat allocation wasn't enforced. Otherwise comfortable

Bus was one hour late right from the start and we almost still missed the bus as they told us that no bus was coming yet for another 30 minutes (it came right after we had asked about this). No communication from the bus driver at all about the one and only bathroom break.
