Booking a bus trip from Singapore to Malacca

Received an email from a visitor to the website, MyExpressBus.com , commenting of the difficulty in booking bus tickets from Singapore to Malacca via the phone or Internet. I can understand how frustrated she felt when the express bus companies in Singapore did not want to accept credit card booking via phone. These bus companies are still relying on the good old method of cash payment. So if you want to pre-book your tickets, you will have to make an additional trip personally to their ticketing office. Otherwise, go to the bus terminal and risk not getting a seat. As for online booking via the Internet, the company that has such service only ply the Singapore-KL and Singapore-Petaling Jaya route at the moment.
