Kuala Lumpur to Penang Port Destination Reviews

EB
For this trip you’re gonna need a blanket, neck pillow, snacks, a cap, headphones and a good playlist. It is true what the other reviews tell you. The bus driver seems very careless with his passengers. Luckily for us he was accompanied with a man who was closer to nice and spoke English. The aircon is very cold and the bus smells of old cigarettes… BUT there are lots of leg room and the seats can transform to a semi bed.

3 hours late at pick up point. 7 hour drive instead of 5. So overall delay of 5 hours.

The bus was 1 hour late, my seat was old three different times, so that caused a bit of confusion period ... Earlier reviews talked about having a tablet and massage seats karma but my bus had neither.. and my charging port did not work.. but it got me from point a to point b..

The bus left on time but the trip lasted for 7,5 hours instead of the estimated 5. There were random stops, especially in Butterworth.

The bus was 50 minutes late, the driver seemed angry, we finally took off at almost 3pm instead of 2pm. No communication whatsoever, no English on board. The driver looked irritated the whole way. We made stops without explanation. In the end we opted for a grab instead of waiting any longer. If youre a tourist/traveller find someone who speaks English to cling on to. Benefits: leg space and comfort was good.
