Times are bad, I took Transtar mostly in 2023-2024 to Genting, changed bus at least 3 times with Transtar Club-Z, usually mahjong passengers at the immigration to sort passengers to the alighting points on returning leg.

Recently my wife want stuff from YongPeng (Ming Ang bottled sambal chilli were nice), took WTS more often in later part of 2025, found that WTS buses could reach early at Genting before 12pm too, thus I dropped the
Transtar Club-Z which usually reach Genting before 12pm (as it skipped YongPeng).

WTS used to have 4 toilet stops on-route , nowadays only total 3 including YP. Less time wasting.
Transtar had 4 due to the meals, and drinks served twice onboard.

I used to have the mindset that WTS are preferred by elderly, which could affect boarding times.
But Transtar itself had often few self-entitled passengers too.

WTS New Premium-21 bus can book by seat number. But no bells and whistles despite cost $20/25 more.
No meal No AV No massage chair, only better legroom and selectable seats, early boarding timing.

Transtar now have 50% off for Zclub and Solitaire.

Weekday departure Zclub $39, Solitaire $49
Weekday return Zclub $25, Solitaire $35

Book at Bus online or Transtar website without login as member.

Somehow when I login as member using Transtar App or Transtar website, higher price eg departure is $50 instead of $39.

Since so cheap, I just add on insurance for $2

Buy proper Insurance from online, if its a family trip over 2 people.
Bus operators coverage bare minimum, minimal payout, even when involving death during bus journey.

Zero coverage if no longer involving the bus, mishaps at Genting premise,
Proper insurance cover the whole trip, whole holidays.
