Nope. Only breakfast buffet. If I recall correctly, the timing is from 6.30am to 10.30am daily.

How come WTS to Genting Highland never sell those Platinum Cruiser Bus Double Decker??

Should learn from Transtar....

Really meh all the time I go GPO the prices like same as KL leh. Esp now you go the Merdeka sales still ongoing. That time Raya I went also same thing. Maybe I went during festive times (Raya and Merdeka) and that's why KL sales no diff from GPO. Best buy to me is footwear la. One pair of Birkenstock men's sandals in some upscale Bukit Bintang shop only went for RM150. If I got luggage space to hoot 5 pair I would. Sadly only got enough space to buy 2 pair nia

i always go nike adidas puma superdry emporia armani find price is good...even better than USA outlet

On budget trip. My relative from Malaysia too lazy to find parking spot again.

Btw, gold card entitle for free cable car ride, right?

wkday only + dun need gold to get free

 

[vaxvms]

Free room (redeem from GP) so not so guilty of sleeping late. Elsewhere will hear people say "want to sleep can go back to SG then sleep".

Oh eat also can earn tier points to extend. That's good.

ur time n money u decide

holiday is for recharge n not chiong for me

but only SE asia holiday got this luxury due to affordable hotel

if go europe sleeping late = burn money haha

WTS bus mostly had bus attendent other than drivers (except busy days).
Transtar ClubZ/Solitaire ones confirm had attendents serving food/3-in-1 drinks/cracker biscuits.
Although double deck premium bus very shiok very comfy, but u need to change bus before go up hill.
Double Deck not allowed drive up steep slope, heavy and bigger turning radius around bends,

707 is no frills, drivers dont speak good english, they just do headcount and drive. no attendent.

707 bus are fastest as drivers likely F1 drivers wannabe.
707 is not a nobody, they are one of the largest bus operators in southern Malaysia, HQ in Malacca.
Go Malacca should pick 707, as they had many departure timing back to SG (Queen St terminal)

Got another service can fight 707 in terms of speed - Super Nice Grassland. I tried their coach going to KL Berjaya Times Square from Boon Lay, on time pickup and reach KL around 12pm~ even though the coach have to make a stop at TBS. They never stop at nonsense stops like Yong Peng, only stop once at Nilai rest stop for toilet and the coach speed never dip below 100km/h for most of the trip up. If you take Super Nice you better eat a heavy breakfast and empty your bladder at causeway stops because no toilet for few hours. Most of the passengers all youngsters so can tahan. Poomer cannot because every one hour have to go toilet one. Just nice reach KL at ~12pm and you're in Bukit Bintang area alr, so much nice makan around you for lunch

Nowadays 707 coming downhill back to SG like to stop at alot of places. They drive fast but will stop at Batu Cave industrial park, Nilai rest stop, Yong Peng.. 3 stops wasted 1+ hour in total, 5.5 hours journey become 7 hours. From RM50 pre-COVID becum RM70 now but the journey back longer.. realli chop carrot until cannot chop alr.

Wah. If they hear 707 drive like F1 driver they will faint. Looks like I better go with WTS to prevent a earful. Also WTS have pickup at Yishun so convenient.

There is another company Ridewell that picks up from Yishun. Anyone took that before ?

But WTS seat in between not very spacious. I recline my seat once and the aunty behind me scold me. LOL.

I had to book with WTS because no other seat available for Transtar Solitaire Suites.

Personally I would avoid WTS if possible.

I would love to take Transtar Solitaire or zclub. Always go with them pre-covid. But they don't pickup at Yishun. And this time taking the morning and not night coach.

WTS or Transtar Express is a 24-28 seater, stop at Yong Peng for meals
Transtar ClubZ is a 20 seat, cocoon seat, your seat movement does not disrupt your neighbour behind.
Meal on board.

Same as above but Transtar Solitaire is a 16 seat, single seat in left or right column.. space gap between seat very big, tend to be quiet unless ur upbringing poor, shouting in bus while people having catnaps.
Big rowdy family with kids or shallow pocket usual dont take this option.. thats a plus point for peace lover.
