Yogyakarta to Malang Destination Reviews

Fien H

Airconditioned vehicle, with plenty of space. You get a snack and make a stop at noon for lunch (which was free for us, between Yogyakarta and Malang). We had a little delay of only 15minutes (because of traffic). For the departure, you have to check in at the agency, which is located in the street of terminal Prambanan. It wasn’t very clear ik the beginning how it would work, but you just have to check in there and they will take you across the street when the bus arrives. Very comftable way to travel.

The only information about the pick-up point was an adress and it was the wrong one. Many other people also did not go to the right spot. We found out through a random whatsapp on a instagram page. They came to pick us up at another spot. The ride was great then though.

Very impressed with service. Mini bus had plenty of room for passengers and luggage. Arrived 10 minutes early. Just make sure you double confirm with driver your destination.

Yogyakarta to Malang The service at the agency was excellent. The girls there are really professional and help you out when it is time to catch the bus. You receive a message from the driver advising you that he is going to arrive soon at the agency to pick you up. Once on the bus, you have space for reclining the seat and stretch your legs. The driver will provide you with a little snack and there will be time for a lunch break. I travelled during days of Muslim holidays so the traffic was greater than usual. We encountered an accident and had to stop to help another Efisiensi bus which got a flat tyre. I arrived with 1h30min delay due to all the aspects mentioned above, consider potential delays when booking. The only negative aspect is that the driver and assistant of the driver only spoke Indonesian and I could not understand what was going on: how much time do we have for coffee break, is the food for lunch included in our ticket. Anyway, you can use Google Translate and have a conversation with them, I am sure they are helpful if you ask. Bus stops are not announced, but you clearly see where you are following the signs on the street or on Google Maps. The bus has air conditioning and USB ports to charge your phone. You will be provided with pillow and blanket

Pure luxury, very unexpected! A whole little loge for myself with a curtain, TV and Netflix, and we even got warm food! Only drawback was that I found a dead cockroach in a crevice of my seat so that was not so cool. Everything else was great!

Bus was very comfortable and the driver had a good balance between speed and safety. We even had lunch included at a reststop. Only thing to improve is the communication on where and when exactly to wait for the pickup.
