I am travelling with relatives to Singapore. Normally, I take train if I travel alone. However, they wanted bus.

Here are my questions:

- How long is the journey?
- How many stops they make during the journey?

So far, from many websites, they have the timetable but not on journey duration.

4.5-7 hours depending on condition at customs
normally 1 stop

The majority of double-decker buses in the UK are between 9.5 metres (31 ft 2 in) and 11.1 metres (36 ft 5 in) long, the latter being more common since the mid-1990s, though there are three-axle 12-metre (39-foot-4-inch) models in service with some operators.

Depends on time you travel also....last time I travel use those super-vip bus, using 2nd link, travel at night.....3.5 hours...

my fastest record also via second link 4.5h....

more longer than mini bus

Most of the Bus use Tuas Checkpoint and it no jam is about 5 hours.

Aeroline (1U) - Only stop at R&R - RM100+
Transtar (1U, Sunway, Jalan Imbi)- Only stop at R&R - Depend on Class RM50-RM120
Starmart (Time Square) - Only stop at R&R - RM50
FirstCoach - (1U, Bangsar & Subang) - only R&R - RM50
Grassland (Time Square) - Yong Peng R&R - RM50-RM55

Take First Coach, quite cheap

Else, take Aeroline, more espensive than First Coach but more choices of stops

About 5.5 hours.

Aeroline use to be less than 5 hours but my last time I used, they used Causeway which took another 1-hour instead of Second Link (to save cost)

>kampung ask /k about public transport not opposite

wat?

I rarely take bus to SG

Depending on the destination in Singapore.

Tuas to city center can take half an hour to one hour during peak periods. If the destination is western Singapore, get a bus that allows early alighting, and switch to a CausewayLink city bus at Tuas CIQ. Tuas to Boon Lay is ten minutes. No severe congestion expected. Congestion usually starts somewhere before Jurong Town Hall Road exit.
Tanjung Kupang to Tuas is affected by truck traffic, and occasionally bus traffic, at Tuas CIQ. Worst case in recent years is additional half an hour delay. Longest in history may be one hour.
Immigration clearance for tourists may add another half an hour.
TBS to Tanjung Kupang is usually affected by the congestion in KL and Selangor, also Negeri Sembilan, which can add another half an hour.

Without congestion, should be minimum 4.5 hours, unless the driver speeds. I would expect 5.5 hours as the norm.

Took the bus(Luxury) from Sheraton hotel to Singapore(stop at the old Le Meridian hotel at Orchard Road). That was some 2 years ago. Took just over 2 hrs to get to Yong Peng. About half hour break. Took just over 2 hrs to get to JB . Clear Malaysia immigration and then off to Singapore immigration(approx. 20 mins/30 mins) Then off to Orchard Road
Overall about 6 hrs

There are a lot of buses for you to consider at TBS. The duration is about 5.5 - 6.5 hours depending on driver speed, traffic, and custom.

Nearlee

kecian kampung.. family wai no like taking train?

got bunk bed rite can sleep summore?

Train stops at Woodlands. To reach SG city, they have to take 911 SMRT bus then MRT to the city.

Depend on the driver. If not so daring, then 5-6 hours. If the driver is daring, then maybe 4 hours. If the driver is extra-daring, you will probably never arrive.

Err....customs and immigration at Woodlands has separate counters for train and bus passengers? Or the same?

I see the crowd coming in by buses, I would rather take a train if there are separate counters.

dont play play maaa ehheheheh

Options are first coach to novena or buona vosta from s1from1u from subang parade.

Alternatively you can try aeroline to harbourfront

Travel time abt 6 hours.

Konsortium (TBS - Beach Road) RM45 - 5.5 hrs (1 stop at Yong Peng)

City Express (TBS - Larkin - Kovan Hub (Kovan MRT) ) RM48++ - This one very fast one. non-stop 5hrs

Maju (TBS - Beach Road) RM50 - 5.5+ hrs (1 stop at Yong Peng, if unlucky another stop at Larkin) << I banned Maju because the farking driver cabut at woodlands. Didnt fetch until beach road.

One U - Harbourfront
Corus Hotel (KLCC) - Harbourfront

aeroline takes 5 hours from KL to Harbourfront Center

u take KTMB to SG? it take about 7-8 hrs to reach SG le...u can tahan ka?

p.s: i know u like train, but the travelling time really tooo long la～ bus to JB 4hrs i almost beh tahan...u geng

I used to take sri maju, nice, five stars, starmart. All these they take woodlands checkpoint which is farking jam especially peak hours. worse of all the R&R is at YongPeng. This place is filled with money bloodsuckers example a nasi lemak with small chicken wing costed me like RM6 =.=, with SGD is cheap but still.... all meant to chop tourists. Usually rest for 30mins-45mins

Then I tried firstcoach coz location wise more convenient. R&R at Pagoh, a more localised area and food doesnt cost as much. 20mins break time and use Tuas checkpoint (To star vista destination, others i dunno). Farewise Rm55 and 36SGD to&fro.

Aeroline is like more premium.. Rm80+.. inside got wifi and meal provided, but have not tried before.

take budget coach, all ferry you to yongpeng.
you don't see premium coaches like aeroline, nice, odyssey etc going to yong peng.

Separate. There is no way to enter the railway station after leaving the bus passenger departure hall. Railway immigration counters are beside the railway track at the ground floor or a basement level. Bus immigration counters are upstairs. Similar to Tanjung Puteri.

OK, thanks.

Average 6 hours by bus during morning-noon. One stop at r&r.

- How long is the journey? - 5-6 hours / 400+km
- How many stops they make during the journey? - one, at yong peng, the food expensive yet not nice, don't try

Soon, they are going to add a stop at GP Prima. The station has just started operation. So, be ready to add about 15 or 20 minutes to the overall journey time for most of the companies.
