The ride was quiet and comfortable. The bus left with a delay of 20 minutes and arrived almost 3 hours later than scheduled, so keep this in mind when taking the bus.

Bus station is ok for asia , but you have to get your boarding pass after showing your ticket, you have to pay a small tax charge too. You then go to the gate and show your pass. The bus is fairly modern , lots of legroom and wide seat. The standard of driving was normal for asia, a few hard stops , but incident free. If you are travelling to Georgetown , you need to change buses at Pinai , you handle your own luggage , the good news is that the bus station adjoins the ferry terminal, the boats run up to 10pm daily and every 30mins or so. Its 2RMB pp, and you can pay by card. You can arrange a grab taxi to take you to your hotel from other side.

Plan more time, as it took us 7 hours to get from KL to Penang Butterworth (instead of 5 hours). But the driver was nice and driving securely and the seats were really comfy. Definitely a good and cheaper alternative to flying.
