Singapore Express Buses/Coaches

Typical Singapore Coach or Express Bus to Malaysia and Thailand

As a country, Singapore is a popular hub of the region. One of the more popular practices for holidayers is to explore Singapore, then take a trip up to nearby Malaysia. Malaysia is really accessible from Singapore – you can take a train, drive or even walk in through the Causeway.

Express buses or coaches are a well-established and comfortable method of transport that gets you to the cities of Malaysia such as its capital of Kuala Lumpur (KL). It’s a direct journey, and some coach or express bus companies even provide on-board refreshments! A one-way ticket starts from around $30-$40, and most companies provide daily services.

You can either buy a ticket directly from a bus company, or visit bus ticket online booking websites where there are many destinations such as Batu Pahat, Muar, Malacca, KL, Seremban, Genting, Ipoh, Penang, etc to purchase your bus tickets.

    What a crappy place to visit. There are alot of better “man-made” places than Singapore. A city with nothing to offer but buildings.

    A frequent traveller. Just had a very bad experience with 707 (tel: 62927707) . Called up today to enquire on bus schedule, was treated extremely rude over the phone, male staff was proud, sacarstic on my enquiries. Was conversing in mandarin, then he change to english but couldnt understand what i said when he ask for my name. i have to spell it out slowly and then ask for my number but still couldnt figure out, raised his voice thruout the conversation.

    707 will not be in my list of coach company anymore.

    Starmart (by airasia) , is another one that left me bad impression, staffs were rude. and cancel the trip without informing, upon reaching there only to know bus cancel, we were put to another one an hour later. If you want a ‘non-stop’ (with toilet breaks) service, is a good choice.
