Singapore to Malaysia – A Cheap Bus Ride

Kuala Lumpur (KL) in Malaysia is a well-known weekend spot liked by most travellers from Singapore. The flight between these two destinations is an expensive deal. Total travelling times are almost comparable. You do not need to check in 2 hours prior to departure. And also, the travelling time from airport to your house is normally much further than the local bus station to your house. Also when you opt to travel by bus, you can use your mobile phone in the bus, and take important business meetings and keep family members informed but you can’t do so in the plane. You can always chat with your love ones while you are travelling by bus back.

Therefore, for a small overnight journey, many people use bus coach and train facilities to reach KL to Singapore hassle free. Buses depart from various points within Singapore and will stop at the Singapore checkpoint. The bus will not wait for you whilst you clear immigration, so take all your belongings with you. Keep your bus ticket and hop on the next Bus No which comes along. You don't have to pay again.

The bus will stop again at the Malaysian checkpoint, which is at the other end of the Causeway linking Singapore to Kuala Lumpur. You will have to get off to clear immigration. Once more, the bus will not stop for you to clear immigration, so keep your bus ticket if you intend to catch the next bus.

The coach will stop at various meals centres and public washrooms during the day travelling as per the traveller’s convenience. Families travelling with kids get added advantage of getting refreshments. Keep the Malaysian ringgit or Singapore dollars ready if you are interested to purchase something. There are comparatively less stopovers during the night time journey.
