Question about Malacca

[Oinkize]

I stay in north n tried both ways...

I will say It depends on the jam at checkpoints and where is ur start point. If just go by distance from both checkpoints assuming no jam, JB CIQ-EDL-E2 is much faster and cheaper than going by Tuas. The only worry at woodlands is the jam, but that can be avoided by crossing over early.

What you say is true but on the average, 2nd link is actually faster.

But then there are many factors to consider...

Anyone knows if the bus tic from Melaka bus terminal to sing will be hard to get? I tried to purchase a round trip from five stars but the counter staff told me the return tix can be bought from the bus terminal.
I'm looking at the evening bus timing as I won't be spending a nite there. Had tried to place booking online but the timing was not in my favour, seeking help here.
Thanks in advance!!

if you are leaving on Sunday from Melaka to Singapore, likely the ticket is difficult to get because most of the time the tickets are sold out very fast...

 

[mediaskies]

confirm open at night. Suggest you go there early for dinner, say around 7pm.

i am looking at coach to book via online.

SIC review for the following? in terms of comfort and speed to malacca? so many too choose from

starmart express air
Sri Maju Group
Malacca Singapore Express

the website shows that sri maju coach is a 21 seater while starmart is 27seater

 

[sereneong19]

Thanks everyone for the tips. Got the tix for return when I reached Melaka Sentral. Buying tix from there is cheaper and more choices but would discourage taking 707. Made a big detour around JB to drop off passengers or stopping somewhere to wait for someone dunno for wat.

 

[buswhiz]

yup, it is definetely cheaper to get from melaka counter. But for peak period like sunday, it is better to get online because the tickets are selling very fast

Bumpz sic!

 

[buswhiz]

starmart is 27 seater, sri maju is 21 seater, so, those with less seats meaning the seats is bigger, so, you will be more comfortable

any idea on the speed of travel for sri maju? does it stop halfway at yong peng or just straight go?

 

[Oinkize]

Yesterday my 5 stars driver very satki. On straight road travelling about 100, left elbow on steering wheel, left hand talking on phone, right hand smsing with another phone...

 

[buswhiz]

speed really depending on the driver, normally the company instruction to the driver is to follow speed limit.. yes, sri maju will stop at yong peng
