Butterworth to Malacca Destination Reviews

VC
Delay in the departure however a good comfortable trip especially since it was a long journey!
Butterworth to Malacca, Bus VIP, Super Nice Express, Sep 24, 2025

Safe and peaceful ride throughout. Bis was too cold and the Aircon duct was blowing right above me onto my head. Design of this duct is certainly bad. Note that there is no stop over for meals. Bring your own food onboard.
