Wah first class coach! I can take from sk if wanna go Genting 😊

Definitely a good video and legit as well. Noticed you stop at Tangkak 2 hrs after crossing the border, and also the rest top just after the Gombak Toll. Also, pretty lucky that you got a nice view of Genting Highlands. Hope you had a good casino session too!

Hi. Tks for such video. Would be useful to include the costs, too.

Great trip. That's unique, all in seat facilities isn't turned on until out of Singapore, interesting. I think only the Audio Video On Demand which is turned off until out of Singapore. Unlike previous trip using same coach at same route, there's different place to transferring passenger from DD Coach to Regular coach or vice versa.

Cost for 1 way ticket for this bus is 80-90 Sgd. Definitely not cheap loh. Most bus tickets go for half the price. But of course, the decor of the bus is good, the seat is slick and the service is not bad.

If I live in Tampines, I would 100% take a flight out to KL, then transfer to a bus from KLIA to Genting. I would have more time to spend in Genting or even half a day tour in KL, then having to endure the squeeze in customs at 2nd causeway and multiple stops. Sitting in a bus seat for 7-8 hours is also super uncomfortable, did that once and never again. Also $80 for a one-way, when you can get return flight to KL at $120. You get neither cost or time savings, so what’s the point?

Hi there, Journey with buses would have the convenience of carrying liquid such as shampoo and body soap without getting any check-in baggage. The jam at KLIA 2 customs is not short as well. We jammed there for 2 hours once. There is also the cost of transferring from airport to genting, unless you go up via public transportation, which then again needs to transfer from plane to bus to cable car which is a hassle if there are kids coming along.

How much is the ticket for a seat? Are their drivers attentive to maintaining a safe driving speed? Judging by the calibre of the bus, I would have imagined or liked to see an onboard toilet. At the start of the video, I was quite tempted to comment that for safety reasons, I normally avoided taking double-deckers for long-distance travel, much less going up Genting. So I'm glad to learn that in Gombak, the passengers have to swap for a single-deck bus. The Malaysian government are to be applauded for mandating this safety precaution.
