Johor Bahru to Kuala Lumpur Destination Reviews

AH
The bus started on time and had comfortable seats. The bus driver drove also safe and was friendlier than other bus drivers we experienced. We arrived a bit after scheduled time at KL (~30 minutes) but as it was a Friday afternoon and a lot of traffic this is probably difficult to avoid. So overall good experience.
