Wow this is going to kill the BUS rides from xxx to KL.

It won't. Bus still cheaper and some might prefer not so close proximity like in the car.

Imagine a crying baby in the car.

Plane:
Flight duration: 45mins - 1 hour
Need to check in: 30mins-2 hours ahead of time?
Travel from KL to KLIA2 - 1 hour?

Total time between 2.5-4 hours

Fuel surcharge, airport tax etc got?


Grab:
Travel time: 4-5 hours depending on the speed of the car and driver, and any stops
Other passengers pickup: 30mins-1 hour (really optional)

Total time between 4-6 hours

Grab I think can find 1 location that all 4-5 passengers can agree to be pick up from. And the timing can arrange ahead of time. Like can arrange carpool ahead of time. More flexibility.

the RM10 airplane is included airport tax etc...just exclude luggage
but RM70 by car is a good deal

Agree. Bus ticket now is how much? RM45? 50?

If I live near KLIA2 then plane is my first choice.

uber about 13

note: some buses do start from komtar. just ask the counter for bus at komtar

I see. Total would be RM51.

The disadvantages are 1) trip could be longer than travel by car 2) have to go to TBS 3) follow the bus schedule which is fixed.

Thanks for the info, good for comparison and decision making.
