Travel by bus
to Singapore has always been the most popular and in demand option, as well
as the same route of taking a bus from Singapore to KL. Thus, you will never
fall short of bus trips from KL to Singapore. Compare with other means of transport
such as budget airline, train, and even driving your own car;traveling
by bus to Singapore is still the much-preferred method for its convenience,
economical and absolute comfortable.
Why
travel by bus and not by flight
One of the main reason why people are
attracted to the bus is the departure point, the departing point of KLIA2 is
almost to 1-hour driving distance away from the city area whereas for the bus
is within the city area. From that idea, we can draw a conclusion that bus is
more convenient in terms of the departing point. The check -in time for the flight
is around 2 hours compared to the bus which is 30 minutes before the departure.
Despite the fact that taking flight can still be faster than coach, still
passengers opt for bus considering the check in time for the bus is a bit
earlier and that the total duration for a bus to Singapore from KL is almost
the same. There is a beautiful environment inside the bus, seats are fully
reclined, and some might even have wifi or TV that offers a lot of comforts.
Fare,
Duration, Notes and Stops
The bus fare from KL to Singapore ranges
from RM50 to RM100 depending on the classes of the bus you wish to book. The
actual standard bus fare is around RM50 unless otherwise. The bus usually takes
around 5 hours to arrive its destination in Singapore unless you are looking at
a unforeseen traffic condition, which could constitute to the bus taking longer
than usual.
In addition, some buses get into Singapore
through Tuas checkpoint thus avoiding heavy traffic, so there could be a smooth
traffic in around 5 hours of the journey. It is, however, important for
passengers to check their bus ticket of their choice since some buses stop at
some point for passengers to break for meal and washroom break as well.

points in KL
Coaches offer different departure points because of their high demand. It’s utmost important for passengers to choose the coaches that offer convenient departure point that will meet their needs. The most common departure points are One Utama, Subang Parade, Sunway Pyramid, Terminal Bersepadu Selatan, Time Square and Pudu.
