Genting FAQ - Part 3

[vaxvms]

The original price was 70. After 30% discount it was listed as 49. But during checkout the payment showed 28 instead. I think someone screwed up at the payment backend.

bug fares nowadays scare they just refund u after admitting mistake

unlike pre-covid days when airlines or bus company honor the mistakes

Anyway, nowadays the regular passengers likely choose Transtar once or twice to Genting, due to its cost. it's over $140 for a 2-way trip, as well as some shuttle transfer inconvenience. I believe the promotion is trying to reverse the sales trend.
It's suitable for high rollers had thicker wallet.
Initially I thought the skipping Yong Peng, I will reach early, it's not true. The food earlier tasty, now very bland, I only like their nasi lemak and mee goreng, but recently more of economy beehoon.

Me, a poor man's son, choose WTS Platinum-21 usually between $90-120 for a 2-way trip, cheaper if I opt for a squeezing 28-seater bus. 707 and its affiliated bus companies would be under $80 for a 2-way trip. Luckily Uncle Lim gave me transport subsidy..

Drinks served onboard not much use. I dare not drink much during the journey.

Promotion maybe due to unhappiness over multiple transfer. Maybe they think price low people won't mind multiple transfer. Or the Malaysian coach fleet bring down cost.

Feedback from one person was that they had to wait more than 1 hr at Malaysia custom. So seem they trying to consolidate other Malaysia pickup and not just coach from Genting.

My recent trip in Oct I did not book return trip. Went to bus station to ask on my planned return day will they make me transfer many times. Staff say they won't know till the day itself. Promo price almost same as other company so I booked.

The trip to Genting was Zclub coach. Went to Tampines, then Hougang, Choa Chu Kang, Jurong. 8 passengers that boarded at Jurong had to get off at Malaysia custom to change coach. Compared to Apr 40 seater bring people from Tampines, Hougang, Lavender to Grantral Mall change to 2 Zclub and 1 Solitaire.
