Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur Destination Reviews

The booking was easy and checkin was straight forward but we were not dropped at KL Sentral. Instead dropped at a different bus stop15minutes away from Sentral. The bus driver ushered everyone off the bus and told us another bus would pick us up, it did not. We ended up getting a taxi to sentral. Not had this issue before (using 12go) and think it was the bus operator.

Bus didn't go all the way to the destination. I had to board a small minivan to go last leg into town.

Bus arrived over an hour late. Air condition was extremely cold, driver didn't turn it off and we got very sick from the ride.

The bus was over an hour late. We wasted time on our trip because the bus was late. We sat in the front seats (seat 2 and 3), the driver was smoking while driving with the window open. The smoke from the cigarette was coming into the bus and we had to sit through 3 hours of the smell. Very bad experience.

Bus was on time and the seats were comfortable with USB sockets available. Good temperature, maybe a little chilly. Driver was foul tempered, raising his voice to hurry us while stowing our bags beneath the coach, poking me in the arm to put the seatbelt on otherwise the police would fine us even though the seatbelt was already secured, constantly loudly coughing up phlegm and spitting it out the window which was disgusting, especially every 1-2 minutes for a 3 hour journey. He also became very irate when an older gentleman asked to stop to use the toilet about 30 minutes outside of KL, while he did stop at a nearby restaurant station you could hear him complaining loudly and angrily to his attendant.
