You should try another bus carrier on the same route, Aeroline. They have an onboard toilet, seats fitted with onboard entertainment screens, and meals provided onboard. They depart from Harbourfront Centre in Singapore and arrive at Corus Hotel KLCC in Kuala Lumpur.
My man, what a great trip. Despite the absence of Onboard toilet, overall the bus looks good. Can't wait for another trip in Southeast Asia, trying Bus, Train or even trying Ferry in there.
We have this type of Bus here in Argentina, but with a toilet, and 180-degree recline seats...! Warm food, sodas, wine, whisky, coffee and tea... Only 3 1-2 seats rows downstairs, and more similar seats upstairs... Of course, the time of the journey coud take more time than your review (between 10 to 15 hours to travel, perhaps 1,000 to 1,200 kilometres --- 625 to 750 miles --)...
We travel Kuala Lumpur to Singapore via Eltabina jaya express, very nice and comfortable ride we depart at lunch time we arrive in Singapore 5pm! Nice experience seeing those Palm trees along the highway!
Aeroline is another fantastic product worth checking for this route. It comes with an onboard toilet and it has 3 different stops in Greater Kuala Lumpur.
Amazing trip as usual! 👍 The price is a steal for such luxury and definitely worth it for the experience. You practically had the whole bus to yourself. 😁 Singapore and Kuala Lumpur look impressive.
I used to take Firstcoach very frequently previously. What I like about Firstcoach (over Aeroline) is that it is not a double decker bus, hence, it is more stable and tend to move at a higher speed. Most of the time the trip take about 4 hours.
I had one of those "high speed" runs from KL to Singapore. It was 3 hours from KL station to Tuas (2nd link) at Singapore immigration. He was doing about 160kph most of the way early one morning.
Aeroline is better. I used to work in Singapore, and whenever I go back to my country, Malaysia, I'll take the Aeroline bus. I took First Coach once before, and the bus left me at the Malaysian checkpoint without waiting for me. I was shocked and panicky!! Luckily I got a free ride back from another bus coach company ( I guess the driver took pity on me, on seeing how panic I was. 😆) Never will I take First Coach again even if it's cheaper then Aeroline. I stick back to Aeroline. They give good service with a safe smooth journey and two bus terminal destination to choose from.. One in KL, and one in Petaling Jaya, (at One Utama shopping centre) which is very near to my home. Anyway, thank you for sharing. 👍 Nice video.
Good video. I had travelled in this route frequently till year 2014. Grass Land , Five Star , Sri Maju , Gunag Raya were popular bus operators those days. Transtar claims professional but it seems they provide pretty ordinary service. I feel they should pump fuel prior to start and do pre checks , cleaning , earlier not to waste passengers time. More than comfort we should find operators who adhere safe driving and employ quality drivers with skills. Many companies never give rest and make the drivers to drive both night and day. It is best to board bus in the afternoon and night around 10 PM. This gives good break for drivers after they arrive from Malaysia. Taking buses from Johore also value for money. Trans Nasional , Indha are good operators.
For any EP holders of Singapore, you need to take visa to enter Malaysia. The Bus will stop at Malaysian side of the border - it will take exactly 45-50 minutes to get VOA. Tell the bus driver clearly and then go take visa. My driver got really cranky and it was my first time through road to Malaysia.
Your bus went on the "AYE" expressway, then took the Tuas border crossing which is in the West of Singapore, but the illustrated route on your map states it going via the Woodlands checkpoint, which is in the North. Minor error to most, but being the Geography nerd I am I felt I have to point it out 😅
I know. Blame my map man, he was on holiday when I noticed and there wasn't time to fix it 🤣 You're the first to notice in 120,000+ views tho lol. So well done ✅
Great video Well informed and I've never seen let alone travelled on such a luxurious coach before. Never knew such vehicles existed!! Interesting that traffic drives on the left. I've been to Singapore several times many years ago, but only in transit to other destinations but did stay in the Raffles Hotel.
We stopped having toilets in our buses because of baby dumping cases in the 90s. Plus our highways have plenty of rest areas complete with food courts and toilets.
I used to take either Sri Maju or Transtar double decker to either KL or Genting Highland. But nowadays Transtar single deck only go Genting Highland. Yes, Transtar is great and comfortable to travel with 👍
Amazing value for seats that you would normally pay thousands of pounds for on a flight in business class. Having said that, really surprised at the lack of onboard toilets and WiFi.
The interior of this long distance luxurious bus is so beautiful and the seats are just like in business class of the ✈️✈️✈️. Distance traveled from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur is 368 kms and time taken is 5 to 6 hours. It's the same time taken to travel from Bangalore, in Karnataka to Chennai, in Tamilnadu by train and bus and the distance between these 2 cities are 350kms. Whereas the domestic flight ✈️ journey from Bangalore to Chennai takes exactly 1 hour.
I used to take this coach ride every few weeks during my stay in Singapore between 2014-2017. The route is more or less the same but it started from Novena Square where was walking distance to my home in Singapore. It terminated in One World Hotel near 1 Utama shopping centre, where I can easily take a Grab to my home in Sri Damansara. I prefer the coach ride over taking a flight, because of the distance between home and the airports in both cities, plus the peaceful hours of a scenery road trip. I still remember the mileage marks along the highway which might give a hint of how far from the only comfort stop enroute at Pagoh.
Amazing trip report and this bus is definitely luxurious with loads of features and Can’t wait to watch upcoming Malaysian train video by the way, Will it be jungle or high speed train video?
I think the absence of a toilet is a good idea as long as there are rest stops. It's one less thing to be cleaned and on-board loos tend to give rise to a bad smell. Nice legs, BTW:)
Never did the bus from SG to KL before - but flew a few times. Having seen this, I would be tempted to do the bus at least once - although Changi airport is a pleasure to fly from (particularly for Residents / Pass holders - Seat of A380, to luggage pickup to terminal door - record was 20 mins!). Only huge downside was no toilet. I would not do a 5.5 hour journey being worried about drinking water and needing to go ! The cleanliness thing was a little surprising - Singapore is the cleanest place I have ever lived - so this was abnormal...
Meanwhile Golden Mile Complex/Tower (where many international coaches, including this one, depart from) is a huge contrast to Changi Airport, with choked toilets & heavily oxidized false ceilings that collapsed over the taxi stand last year. Supermarkets there was also raided by police for selling pig blood & that area is known to be more sleazy too with its numerous nightlife establishments
Bro, you may wish to take Aeroline bus from HarbourFront in Singapore after alighting at Changi Airport to KL. It has an onboard toilet. On top of that, 1x hot meal, 1x hot drink(coffee, tea or hot chocolate), 1 bottle of complimentary water, socket and inflight(bus) entertainment at every seat. Super generous legroom(I can fully stretch out my legs). Pillows and blankets are provided(will be collected back near the end of the trip) as well.
No toilet.....shouldn't be an issue !!! the bus will stop at least once at many "pit stop" aka RR (rest station) along the highway. Roughly about one pit stop every 50km along the highway. This pit stop provides all the necessities for travelers....clean toilet, restaurant, fruit kiosk, prayers hall, petrol stations ....even Starbucks and Mac D also there (not all...). Due to this reason most of the bus navigating through malaysia don't have the toilet in their coach anymore.
Ah, nearer my part of the world. The bus looks fine, but I think I would still fly - your point about immigration holding the whole bus I have experienced. You were also very lucky that traffic approaching KL was so light.
check interstate buses quality in Indonesia...there have been some significantly fantastic improvements and great standard..especially for the sleeper buses😁
@@4begonia And worse than that was, they might changing their mind now after the economy success of Laos railway to Yunan China. I made a comment to my wife "they are stupid enough to do that" once I heard the news.
I was a tour guide for many years and I can say (and most of the bus drivers will confirm it) that buses and toilets don't mix well together. On one hand most of the passengers are too shy to enter the toilets in sight of the others and on the other the toilets themselves are tiny, uncomfortable and prone to failure. In addition to this, drivers are often those who must clean them. In Europe you will see very few of them these days.
The rattling sound though, from the tray table at the back? Maybe can adjust it to be "in use" position instead next time, if no one is occupying the back seats
Public buses are mainly wheelchair accessible, i have never heard or seen charter bus having this function. SGD 60 is pretty affordable for a long distance journey too
I always used to get the coach or train from Johor Bahru Larkin terminal to KL , it's half the price. I read it costs the same number of ringits as Singapore dollars , as originally they had the same value.
I am not convinced. I travelled around in Latin America in 2004-2005. Sure, there were old american school busses that you had to take in Guatemala. But in, for example, Argentina I would say that they had busses that match everything that you show us today, except the electronic "lull-lull" that didnt exist at that time. They were all Scania, Volvo, and Mercedes-busses, which you could see on small "stickers" on the side of the busses. On the front and the back of a bus you could see the logo of the company that had produced the interiour of the buss. In Argentina there were two main companies that competed for that market, and they were both very high-end.
@@NonstopEurotrip yeah you should. The contrasts in Latin America are immense; just by crossing a border, the busses could change from among the worst in the world to among the best.
I wouldn't call it world's most luxurious bus. Maybe most luxurious for South East Asia. Until you go Japan, then you will know what's call luxurious. The most bumpy part of the bus is the last seat where you are seated. Another problem with these buses you take, they hardly maintain. For those who mentioned about toilet, well there are a several reasons why they are NOT fitted. 1. Needs cleaning all the time and maintenance which cost money which make the bus fare more expensive. They either hire a cleaning lady or the concierge lady have to clean it. 2. It's the toilet - in long run there will be smell (no matter how you clean it) 3. Nobody wants to seat next to a toilet as it smells and noisy 4. They usually stops twice along the highway (plus when you reach customs - Singapore or Malaysia you can try to clear your bladder as much possible!) 5. Just inform the bus driver - he will stop for you as I have tried it several times. It's only 5-7 mins stop, so nothing to be shy off. Never hold your urine as your bladder will get infected. 6. Bus company can have extra 2 seats to sell instead of fitting a toilet as stopping for toilet break doesn't cost money. Hope everyone understand now why toilet is rarely fitted nowadays.
I took this bus 8/11/22. The bus hv service crew, serve water, coffee, gv u blanket if u r cold. The lunch i dont expect it to be so tasty that i hv finished up. The seats also provide individual screen to watch movie. I sure my next trip i will book e same company Transtar Solitaire.
Go for Aeroline. You will appreciate the onboard clean toilet. I won't travel on anything without toilets. Got a scary experience when bus don't stop for toilet break
I used to travel by Transtar before, and at that time according to their schedule, they would make 2 rest stops between Singapore and KL. Never mind that they only made a single stop, but I gave up after the bus just kept going until I asked for a toilet stop, and it only stopped at Ayer Keroh. That was the last time I took the bus ever again. Not worth the extra money and also I find that Grassland, though cheaper, at least it makes a stop at Yong Peng, which is much nearer
@@NonstopEurotrip Buses to Malaysia do not have toilets but they do stop along the way. Some buses make one stop and some two. The toilets are usually clean
If you are advertising yourself as 'The World's Most Luxurious Bus' I think having a toilet is a must. And (although not as important) a wifi. Some coaches you can have kitchenettes and drinking water taps installed as well.
Next you can try our new bus in Indonesia, Sinar Jaya Suites Class from Pulogebang bus Terminal to Bungurasih, Surabaya, east Java, Indonesia. Pay attention this bus always full seat ticket price include food on rest area
They benefit the most from the axing of HS tail between the two cities, having taken a beating since the aviation market was liberalized and budget flights became by far the quickest and most convenient option.
It 'appears' that normal airline carry on luggage will have to into the storage bins. Not much room at seats for anything other than a small back pack. Also no over head racks can be seen. I am sure this is normal for all these buses.
Aeroline executive coach is also superb. SG to KL. KL to Penang. For the train journey from SG to KL I tthink the journey would be smoother once the KL -JB Electric train service fully completed. It should take around 3 hours to travel from JB Central (M'sia/SG border). Too bad Malaysian govt had cancelled the KL-SG high speed train service. If not it would only take 90 min to travel from KL to SG.
Well, that seat is fantastic and unmatched anywhere else, no dispute there. But the bus itself is rather normal, and the lack of a toilet is absolutely unacceptable! You should take a long-distance bus in Brazil --- since it's a HUGE country, there are trips of up to 5 days and over 4,000 km! But of course there are also many shorter routes, and while the quality and features of the buses and the seats vary widely between bus companies and routes, many are outstanding, and ALL long-distance buses have toilets. There is no food service, but a fridge with lots of sealed glasses or small bottles of mineral water is usually available for free for all passengers. Air conditioning, two decks, USB ports, and even WiFi are all quickly becoming standard, and at least in the more developed Southeast and South regions, the road stops are huge, clean and well-fitted food courts as in a shopping mall. Well worth the experience.
I'm not sure if this is the "world's most luxurious bus." That title belongs to the Japanese buses that run between Tokyo to as far west as Fukuoka that have at most 16-20 seats and each seat is its own separated seating area. And there's a toilet on those buses, too.
This is an unfair comparison. We know Japan has the best transport, so that comparison is not allowed 🤣. I never travelled on the luxury coaches in Japan - Just the Shinkansen, but have seen videos about the coaches and ferries in Japan. Absolutely amazing. Japan is worth it as a destination, just for the travelling around :)
You must know that Japanese are well known for their cleanliness. From S’pore, Passengers come from other part of the world and they are not as clean due different cultures. Transtar started with luxurious coaches ( Transtar First Class/ Premium with wheelchairs access) back in 2000 n have toilets inside the coaches. However passengers want the convenience of toilets but nobody wanted to sit near toilets bec of the foul smell when passengers entered the toilet. So quite a Nos of seats were unsold. Even having wheelchairs access also had problems bec some families let their elderly travelled with Transtar n expect the cabin crew to take care of them throughout the journey as they thought by paying premium price , they are entitled to nanny service too! 😝 😂! I’ve travelled onboard Euroline from London to Amsterdam on an overnight trip.When I wanted to use the small, cramped toilet inside , the light was out of order n it was pitch dark inside when I closed the door. I dare not sit on the seat n bent my knees & half squat to pee but I couldn’t do it as the coach was very shaky. I couldn’t see where I was peeing & I was thinking of the next user who might be sitting or stepping on my pee. It was an unforgettable, horrible experience. I had to hold till the next toilet break. So I really rather have comfortable clean toilet breaks where I can see n pee with peace of mind. I wonder anyone has such bad experience as me?

On the front and the back of a bus you could see the logo of the company that had produced the interiour of the buss.
In Argentina there were two main companies that competed for that market, and they were both very high-end.
I hope to try them one day ☺️
@@NonstopEurotrip yeah you should. The contrasts in Latin America are immense; just by crossing a border, the busses could change from among the worst in the world to among the best.
Wow! Super interesting video. Everywhere you go I now want to travel to.
Greetings from San Francisco, California.
Haha thanks Chris ☺️
Loved it.. very good coverage !
Awesome trip on a luxurious bus.
Good sharing.
Well that certainly was different 😉👍🏻. Seats looked so comfy I’d probs fall asleep too
They were amazing Rob 🙂
Great video
Looking forward to seeing the train trips.
Thanks for sharing, Nice video. I was still thinking whether to take Solitaire suite. Now have better idea :)
Have a nice journey bro to malaysia.gracias...
I wouldn't call it world's most luxurious bus. Maybe most luxurious for South East Asia. Until you go Japan, then you will know what's call luxurious. The most bumpy part of the bus is the last seat where you are seated. Another problem with these buses you take, they hardly maintain.
For those who mentioned about toilet, well there are a several reasons why they are NOT fitted.
1. Needs cleaning all the time and maintenance which cost money which make the bus fare more expensive. They either hire a cleaning lady or the concierge lady have to clean it.
2. It's the toilet - in long run there will be smell (no matter how you clean it)
3. Nobody wants to seat next to a toilet as it smells and noisy
4. They usually stops twice along the highway (plus when you reach customs - Singapore or Malaysia you can try to clear your bladder as much possible!)
5. Just inform the bus driver - he will stop for you as I have tried it several times. It's only 5-7 mins stop, so nothing to be shy off. Never hold your urine as your bladder will get infected.
6. Bus company can have extra 2 seats to sell instead of fitting a toilet as stopping for toilet break doesn't cost money.
Hope everyone understand now why toilet is rarely fitted nowadays.
Thank you 🙏🏻 I agree it was a problem for me
this video is cool.. from Indonesia monitor and watch for sure..
Emazing, this is luxurious bus very nice.
I took this bus 8/11/22. The bus hv service crew, serve water, coffee, gv u blanket if u r cold. The lunch i dont expect it to be so tasty that i hv finished up. The seats also provide individual screen to watch movie. I sure my next trip i will book e same company Transtar Solitaire.
Sounds like fun 😀
Very good video . Great bus .
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Go for Aeroline. You will appreciate the onboard clean toilet. I won't travel on anything without toilets. Got a scary experience when bus don't stop for toilet break
I will try it 😃
I used to travel by Transtar before, and at that time according to their schedule, they would make 2 rest stops between Singapore and KL. Never mind that they only made a single stop, but I gave up after the bus just kept going until I asked for a toilet stop, and it only stopped at Ayer Keroh. That was the last time I took the bus ever again. Not worth the extra money and also I find that Grassland, though cheaper, at least it makes a stop at Yong Peng, which is much nearer
Fair enough! It's really crazy there aren't toilets tbh! All long distance buses in Europe have them.
@@NonstopEurotrip Buses to Malaysia do not have toilets but they do stop along the way. Some buses make one stop and some two. The toilets are usually clean
@@JaswantSingh-ym9zo but why 🤣
@@NonstopEurotrip With numerous rest stops along the way I guess there is no need to
@@NonstopEurotrip Distances in Malaysia are nowhere as long as a lot of those in Europe
Nice video. Unfortunately, no toilet is a dealbreaker for me. Thanks
If you are advertising yourself as 'The World's Most Luxurious Bus' I think having a toilet is a must. And (although not as important) a wifi. Some coaches you can have kitchenettes and drinking water taps installed as well.
It's got everything except the toilet lol
Great video 👍👍👍
Didn't expect you to come to Singapore and surely haven't heard about the bus too!
Your welcome then 😉
Thank you for your recommendations to trave by TRANSTAR from sing to kl w/o the loo makes the ride cleaner…
Most people don't agree 😅
By 2nd half 2023, ETS Train will run from JB to KL Sentral in 4hrs+..... can this coach offer better servide than the train?
When the train is nonstop, especially if it has business class, I'll take the train every time 😃
Singapore-Kl?
Did a similar trip but on Grassland coaches. Not sure if they still exist cos it’s been YEARS.
Amazing that it's a fixed price. Should be like that for all 'mass' transportation.
I agree! As long as it's not too high a price 😉
Very nice buses in Singapore. Didn’t even know you do coach trips in Asia.
I wasn't planning to 🤣
@@NonstopEurotrip Ok
Good . Coverage of wayside,,nature,,skyscrapers,,while on run,,
accessories,,facilities while it is stationary.from watcher’s point.
Thank you ☺️
WOW great bus
Next you can try our new bus in Indonesia, Sinar Jaya Suites Class from Pulogebang bus Terminal to Bungurasih, Surabaya, east Java, Indonesia.
Pay attention this bus always full seat ticket price include food on rest area
I would like to! 🙂
Thanks for sharing this gem 👍
Maybe you give a few details of sng and kl as well, looks a nice trip though!
Noted!
Wow! Now I want to try this bus to KL!
They benefit the most from the axing of HS tail between the two cities, having taken a beating since the aviation market was liberalized and budget flights became by far the quickest and most convenient option.
There is and never had been HSR between the 2
@@NonstopEurotrip there was going to be one.
This bus is my favorite!!
Well Done!
Great video now that I have watched it all. Does the bus stop 'right outside'' Berjaya Times Square ?
It does!
@@NonstopEurotrip Thank you very much. Wishing you safe and happy travels.
It 'appears' that normal airline carry on luggage will have to into the storage bins. Not much room at seats for anything other than a small back pack. Also no over head racks can be seen.
I am sure this is normal for all these buses.
Yeah there's plenty of space to store luggage in the side of the bus.
Loves from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Great video Nonstop Asiatrip
🤣🤣🤣
Very interested to see your rail trip .. wonder if the new line has been completed, it is supposed to improve the journey!
It's on the way. Doubling and electrification well under way!
Aeroline executive coach is also superb. SG to KL. KL to Penang. For the train journey from SG to KL I tthink the journey would be smoother once the KL -JB Electric train service fully completed. It should take around 3 hours to travel from JB Central (M'sia/SG border). Too bad Malaysian govt had cancelled the KL-SG high speed train service. If not it would only take 90 min to travel from KL to SG.
Maybe I'll try that next time 🙂
Next time you have try Aeroline Bus, for me still the best so far
I definitely will 🙂
Well, that seat is fantastic and unmatched anywhere else, no dispute there. But the bus itself is rather normal, and the lack of a toilet is absolutely unacceptable! You should take a long-distance bus in Brazil --- since it's a HUGE country, there are trips of up to 5 days and over 4,000 km! But of course there are also many shorter routes, and while the quality and features of the buses and the seats vary widely between bus companies and routes, many are outstanding, and ALL long-distance buses have toilets. There is no food service, but a fridge with lots of sealed glasses or small bottles of mineral water is usually available for free for all passengers. Air conditioning, two decks, USB ports, and even WiFi are all quickly becoming standard, and at least in the more developed Southeast and South regions, the road stops are huge, clean and well-fitted food courts as in a shopping mall. Well worth the experience.
I hope to try it one day 🙂
great vid
Amazing trip ! but sadly i got car sick .
Arriving in Singapore vs arriving in KL by bus/ train which one more excites you.
Me personally its spore.
I like them both 🐱
The rear compartment looks comfortable for short people
if we compare by seats, this is the most luxurious possible in Malaysia
also, our coaches here generally do not have a toilet
I know, it's just strange!
Very good.Thanks .
No toilet? How can they describe it as a "luxury" bus? Certainly one to avoid. A great review, thank you for sharing.
🙏🏻
When I came from Singapore to Malaysia KL I used Five stars but when I went back to Singapore I used the one travel
I'm not sure if this is the "world's most luxurious bus." That title belongs to the Japanese buses that run between Tokyo to as far west as Fukuoka that have at most 16-20 seats and each seat is its own separated seating area. And there's a toilet on those buses, too.
Can't wait to try it 😃
This is an unfair comparison. We know Japan has the best transport, so that comparison is not allowed 🤣. I never travelled on the luxury coaches in Japan - Just the Shinkansen, but have seen videos about the coaches and ferries in Japan. Absolutely amazing. Japan is worth it as a destination, just for the travelling around :)
You must know that Japanese are well known for their cleanliness. From S’pore, Passengers come from other part of the world and they are not as clean due different cultures.
Transtar started with luxurious coaches ( Transtar First Class/ Premium with wheelchairs access) back in 2000 n have toilets inside the coaches. However passengers want the convenience of toilets but nobody wanted to sit near toilets bec of the foul smell when passengers entered the toilet. So quite a Nos of seats were unsold. Even having wheelchairs access also had problems bec some families let their elderly travelled with Transtar n expect the cabin crew to take care of them throughout the journey as they thought by paying premium price , they are entitled to nanny service too! 😝 😂!
I’ve travelled onboard Euroline from London to Amsterdam on an overnight trip.When I wanted to use the small, cramped toilet inside , the light was out of order n it was pitch dark inside when I closed the door. I dare not sit on the seat n bent my knees & half squat to pee but I couldn’t do it as the coach was very shaky. I couldn’t see where I was peeing & I was thinking of the next user who might be sitting or stepping on my pee. It was an unforgettable, horrible experience. I had to hold till the next toilet break.
So I really rather have comfortable clean toilet breaks where I can see n pee with peace of mind. I wonder anyone has such bad experience as me?
@@mollychittick3963 I hope this youtuber understand the problems with onboard toilets.
I often use aeroline for this route... Maybe you can consider it for your next journey
I will 😊
@@NonstopEurotrip Yes it comes with food and onboard toilet! and it is only US$20.
since you didn’t film the border crossing- how many total checkpoints are there?
One for each side
