Balik kampung? Book your bus tickets here in advance for peace of mind.

Avoid the following scenarios :-

1. I always have to make a trip in advance normally about two or three weeks earlier to Puduraya Bus Station from where I stay in Rawang to buy my bus ticket to go back to my hometown in Kedah.  We all know the traffic condition in Kuala Lumpur especially the Pudu area.  So why waste time and money? 

2. I am too busy to travel to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan to purchase my bus ticket in advance to go back to my hometown in Johor Bahru for Chinese New Year.

3. My friends and I plan to make a trip to Penang for a few days.  All of us are either too busy or have no time to purchase our bus tickets early.  When we arrive at the bus terminal on the day we plan for the trip, all the bus tickets have been sold out and the earliest available tickets are about 10 hours later!

Be at peace of mind and avoid the hassle of travelling to the bus terminals twice to purchase your tickets.  Book your tickets online here.
