The driver was over an hour late and wasn’t at the gate we had been told to wait at. We weren’t informed that there were 3 other stops before our own delaying our arrival time by another hour. Also when they stopped halfway for a toilet break the driver started driving off not long after stopping. We were in total around 2 and a half hours late arriving to Ipoh. Also the snacks and wifi advertised weren’t true and the “TV” in question is just a big TV at the front of the bus that isn’t even on? Not that I wanted it but why advertise a TV in that case. The bus itself has nice aircon and comfortable seats but the overall experience wasn’t great

Not all seats were occupied.

Although the bus came a little late, it was still good overall. There was working AC, no mess, reclining chairs with USB port, can put bags over the head, stopped midway to eat and have a drink.

On time, you need to go to the counter to print your ticket, in KL it is free, in other cities it cost 1-2 RG
Taking a bus to get from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh is a safe, comfortable and less expensive alternative for traveling this route. To popular destinations, bus companies operate multiple trips per day, often round the clock at 30-60 minute intervals. To less traveled destinations, there may be only 1 scheduled trip a day. The most common bus types are non-air-conditioned, air-conditioned, and premium buses.
It is best to reserve your tickets at least a few days ahead of your travel date. Check our list of bus companies available for online booking offering Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh tickets. When traveling on weekends and holidays it is recommended to reserve tickets much earlier due to higher numbers of travelers, both vacation-makers and urban workers returning home to their provincial home.

Buses normally make short 10-30-minute breaks after a few hours of continuous travel to allow passengers use bathrooms, stock up on munchies and let bus attendants and the driver have rest.
Some premium buses have onboard toilets and the second driver. Nevertheless, usually they still make en route stops for a quick lunch or fuel refill.
