If you know you'll be needing to get round in Malaysia during your holiday, then it's good to know that the 2 main means of transport here are bus (or coach) and taxi.
Bus and coach are pretty much the same, although buses tend to have more stops along the way, rendering them a little slower. Buses also may or may not have aircon, which is something to take note of if you're not used to the high temperatures here. Lastly, the seats in buses are not quite as comfy as the seats in coaches.

This applies to the whole cabin actually. That is, the entire coach experience tends to be a little more comfortable, with added perks like in-vehicle entertainment and a lavatory. Obviously, given these extras, coach tickets are usually higher than bus ticket. But all told, arguably, coaches are best value for money, especially given the great MYR currency exchange rate to Euro, USD, SGD etc.
Want to book your bus or coach? Just enter your destination and follow the steps.
If you like to get around faster, you can take a taxi. Clearly, going by taxi is more convenient, as well as more private.
NOTE: The busiest months are !

Safe Travel Corridor
Travelers from overseas may remain a little wary of the recent pandemic when going to a foreign land. With memories of Covid still in the back our mind, there's bound to be a certain amount of trepidation still. It's understandable.
This is why our transport service comprises a thorough hygiene regime. For starters, each vehicle is vacuumed and cleaned in between journeys. Furthermore, since our drivers are aware of all the rest stops with high sanitation standards, any substandard ones will be avoided. Safety and hygiene above all.
