The journey was comfortable and we arrived safely, but there are a few things that should be improved. The ticket stated that the terminal fee would be between RM0.50 and RM2.00, but I had to pay an additional RM12 at check-in. This was unexpected. Please make all additional charges clear before booking. Also, my ticket showed one gate and bus, but passengers were moved to a different bus. I only found out because I asked a staff member. Without asking, I could easily have missed the departure. Please announce these changes clearly and update the departure screens. Finally, the booking system allowed me to choose a seat, but after the buses were combined my selected seat was no longer available. I understand that operational changes sometimes happen, but in that case the seat selection should either be honoured whenever possible or passengers should be informed that seat selection cannot be guaranteed. Overall, the journey itself was safe and comfortable, but clearer information and better communication would improve the experience.
