If you're planning a trip from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, taking a bus can be a convenient and cost-effective way to travel. Here's everything you need to know to make the journey from Lion City to the capital of Malaysia.
Choosing the Right Bus Company
There are several bus companies that operate daily trips from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, so it's important to do some research to find the right one for you. Look for companies that have good reviews and a track record of on-time departures and arrivals. Some popular options include Starmart Express Konsortium, Aeroline, and Transtar.
Booking Your Tickets
You can book your tickets in advance online, through a travel agent, or directly from the bus company's ticket office. Booking in advance is recommended, especially during peak travel seasons, as buses can fill up quickly. You can book a ticket online or at the bus company office. I booked mine through 12go.asia. The ticket price is around P1200 ( SGD28.47 ), one way. Book it HERE! The booking confirmation can be printed or saved on your phone. Then, go to the bus terminal and present the email confirmation to the StarMart Express office and they will exchange it for the actual ticket.
Preparing for the Journey
Before your journey, make sure to bring along your passport, as you'll need it for border control. You may also want to bring snacks, water, and entertainment for the journey, as the trip can take around 5-6 hours depending on traffic and border crossing time.
Departure Points in Singapore
Buses to Kuala Lumpur usually depart from one of two locations in Singapore - Golden Mile Complex or Woodlands Checkpoint. Golden Mile Complex is located near Nicoll Highway MRT Station, while Woodlands Checkpoint is located at the northern tip of Singapore, near the border with Malaysia. I recommend to choose Golden Mile Complex, it's near Little India and Chinatown.
Arrival in Kuala Lumpur
Buses usually arrive at the Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) in Kuala Lumpur. From here, you can easily connect to other parts of the city via the KLIA Transit train, the RapidKL bus, or a taxi.
