Express Bus from Penang to Kuala Lumpur

Express Bus from Penang to Kuala Lumpur - KPB Signature Class Bus

There are many express bus companies that operate the Sungai Nibong Bus Terminal, Penang to Kuala Lumpur route, however, not many express buses depart from Georgetown. If I were to take the express bus from Sungai Nibong, I would have to incur additional cost and time.

New Asian Travel & Transport at Komtar Penang

Eventually, I found a bus travel company that picked up passengers at Komtar, located about 5-minute taxi ride from my hotel. The pick-up point is at street level and a short distance from Maybank Komtar. See the location map below.

I booked the Penang to Kuala Lumpur bus ticket from New Asian Travel (aka Newsia Express). The one-way bus ticket from Komtar to TBS costed MYR38.

The express bus was a 27-seater KPB Signature Class. The seats were spacious and interior was clean and tidy because no food and drink were allowed onboard.

After departing from Komtar, the bus made a stop at Sungei Nibong to pick up other passengers before proceeding to Kuala Lumpur (Terminal Bersepadu Selatan). The entire journey from Komtar to TBS took about 5.5 hours, including a couple stops in between for toilet breaks.

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. Go check www.aeroline.com.sg for latest service route. Singapore may boast to have world class land transportation - but within the island. It is time for the Singapore Tourism Board to look in modernising our outbound bus services.
