Arrived 15 mins late which is fine but arrived 2.5 hours late, had a flight booked and should have arrived 3 hours before but we only just got in with minutes to spare for check in

The bus came 20 minutes later, so we arrived 1 hour later in Kuala Lumpur due to traffic. The bus was comfortable and the bus driver was friendly.

The bus arrived 3 hours late. Only about 30 mins of this could be attributed to traffic. The rest is due to leaving 40 mins after the advertised time (despite the bus being there 10 mins after it, we sat for 30 mins with nobody new getting on) and terrible estimation from the company. The bus makes a lot of stops that mean it has to drive out of the way which is completely understandable for a bus but it needs to be included when estimating the arrival time. Spending 8 hours on the bus when we were expecting 5 was very frustrating. The second issue was the stops. In the 8 hours on the bus, the only opportunities to get food were stops at bus stations (which often don't have much to offer). Excluding all of the above, the seats were at least relatively comfortable.

Everything worked fine, bus was on time, seats were comfortable and we arrived without problems in KL. The only thing is that they pick up other people in different locations so we started one hour late so we arrived as well one hour late. But besides that everything went smooth

Good except half the bus had a broken seat so you can’t lift up your feet. Get someone to fix it. And the trip took an hour and a half extra than it said it would take online when I bought the ticket.
