any recommendation for buses to Malacca? saw too many of them, don't know where to start haha.

My personal choice is Luxury Coach from Concorde Hotel, to Casa del Rio in Melaka.

But, if you live in say, Pasir Ris, you won't want to have to travel to Jurong to board the coach, do you? One point to consider.

And over in Melaka, which hotel/area will you be staying during your visit? Some coaches have drop-off at/near certain hotels, instead of Melaka Sentral. Another point to consider.

Wah just came back from Malacca Trip. 160km/hr

Sat JB 12pm start jam until 5pm reach Malacca.

Sun Malacca start jam until 7pm reach Singapore from Tuas.

Jiak sai. 20ringgit is nothing! The petrol wasted is more than 100ringgit mans.

Overall a very enjoyable trip. Damn good. Next one would be genting/Cameroon/Langkawi.

Malaysia is beautiful. Minus the ***.

Not talking any sense. Maybe you have never had satay celup at all. Or you like your food raw.

thanks man. luxury coach service is safe and reliable? staying near shopping mall area should be fine right? any other opinion from others?

Hi,

Do you mean the A'farmosa themepark - waterpark and cowboy resort? I read that it is very run down.

for waterpark and animals, there is wonderland park and melaka zoo which are nearer.

The reality should be over 2 hours from the traffic within Malacca. Not certain if the bus will arrive on time at the place you wait. Dataran Pahlawan, MMC and Taming Sari are near each other but having to stop at each of them takes time.

Wow that's quite a long journey then and it means that if I plan to take that shuttle bus I will spend at least 4 hours only for the rides.. I might need to cancel that plan then.. Thanks for the reply..

it is A farmosa outlet.. not the theme park

Malacca traffic is horrendous. 2 hours can easily become 4

Never ever go to Malacca on festive days. The traffic is terrible and I was stuck once on Christmas Day.

Thinking of heading to Melaka next week on the 24th - 26th March. As next week is the start of Malaysia's school holiday will it be very jam at both SG/MY customs?
