Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru Destination Reviews

We left 10 minutes early from TBS Kuala Lumpur because all passengers were boarded be ready to go. The bus we comfortable, it was an older bus but still good. The only issue was the bus driver smoking cigarettes while driving the bus. Just cracking the window. I thought that was disrespectful to the passengers. Not everyone wants to smell cigarettes or breathe it in their lungs. He later got into a problem with another driver on the route and begin blocking both lanes with the bus so the driver could not pass. Playing dangerous games with passengers live because of your pride is not cool. We made a 30 minute stop for food as toilet half way through. Then another 10 minute stop about 30 minutes before we arrived at Larkin.
