問: 來回新加坡與吉隆坡過境巴士服務
小弟與朋友計劃於下月去新加坡和吉隆坡旅行，行程初步計劃是7日6夜，大致如下：第 1-4 天留在新加坡，
第 4 天晚計劃搭通宵火車去吉隆坡，
第 5-7 天吉隆坡玩，
第 7 天中午前搭直通巴由吉隆坡返回新加坡，再轉飛機返港 (7點多的飛機)
有幾點想請教各位師兄，主要是：
1. Check 過以下兩個吉隆坡往新加坡的直通巴士網上資料，
邊間巴士服務公司的服務好點？或者有那些收費相宜？

https://www.aeroline.com.sg/sc_hf.html
2. 聽聞馬來西亞境內也有大巴由吉隆坡到 Johor Bahru，
是否坐境內大巴到 Johor Bahru 轉 TS1 到樟宜機場會最化算？
3. 巴士單程是否大約 5 小時就可以到新加坡？ (連塞車、過關)
感謝解答！
(因為行程涉及馬來西亞境內，故貼上此處，如應貼在新加坡巴士的版面請代為轉版，謝謝)
[ 本帖最後由 WR309 於 2011-4-15 22:23 編輯 ] 與其搭火車去吉隆坡，不如在新加坡多玩半天再座巴士去吉隆坡，火車太慢了！
還有爲何要在 Johor Bahru 轉車往新加坡那麽折騰？時間萬一有誤差趕不上飛機就麻煩了，乾脆直接座巴士往新加坡轉飛機更好。
Transstar 會不錯，其他的其實都差不多，服務不會差太遠，主要看你的喜好和價錢。
車程連塞車、過關大概五個到六小時 呢篇文係咪應該B16好啲？ 吉隆坡的puduraya已經有巴士去新加坡...唔駛去到新山先坐車入
搭巴士最好預6個鐘 It's not worth taking the coach just to Johor Bahru, as the ordinary (cheap) coach's fare is only about RM10 less than the coach to Singapore (but note that some coaches will pass Johor Bahru anyway to drop off passengers), and you still need to spend at least RM2 for on bus/taxi to Singapore.
It's better to take a premium coach (usually double deck and MAN/Scania chassis, more expensive at about RM80-100, and stop at shopping malls/hotels), rather than a cheap RM40 coach to Singapore (which uses the new TBS Terminal outside the city- Puduraya is now closed and will be used for other coaches), unless they guarantee that they will use Second Link to Singapore andnot stopping in Johor Bahru. Most cheaper coaches will stop for meal breaks, and drop off passengers in Johor Bahru, and waiting for passengers from some countries to clear immigration via Causeway can be a real pain to wait. It's not worth risking your flight for about HK$100, and you can enjoy onboard F&B and entertainment on board.
Transtar is good but expensive on certain departures, Aeroline's price is mostly fixed but on older coaches I believe still does not have personal TV.
Some of my friends recommended First Coach but it's does not stop in the city centre, it is cheaper and uses Second Link (only stops for toilet breaks and immigration).
For the cheaper choices, many are available such as Sri Maju, Five Stars, Grassland, Transnasional, Starmart, and so on. Try to go for these bigger players. Some of them have good equipment, even PTV as well, but will not be much cheaper than the premium coaches. Beware of leaf spring Japanese chassis for some departures, which makes you really tired after the ride.
TS1 only goes to Kotaraya 2 Terminal, not Larkin where the coaches will stop. And TS1 might not be too suitable for your difficult to predict schedule at 1 hour frequency.

May be it's better for me to choose a bus go directly to singapore downtown and reserve for about 5-6 hours for the trip.
May I ask two more questions, which are about ticketing selling & JB - Causeway immgration process.
1. From some forum information, I noticed that it is difficult to book for the ticket right before the departure. So, is it possible
to reserve a seat by phone in advance, or book via internet is better?
2. For JB - Causeway immigration process, I just wanna to know more - it is similar to Huanggang - Lok Ma Chau (Yellow bus) one?
Since I found that SBS operates two routes 170/170x, some people said all passengers have to take-off the bus for immigration
checking, and board for another bus... etc.
Sorry for asking so many questions.

1. It depends on each company. For instance, Transtar does not offer booking, but you can purchase tickets in advance online or at its agents (even in Singapore but it's more expensive). But even if there is booking, you might still need to appear in advance to purchase the ticket over at the counter. For myself I'll always buy ticket in advance, especially there is no time for any error.
2. All passengers have to alight at the checkpoints in both Singapore and Malaysia. For normal buses such as SBST, SMRT, Causeway Link, SJE, AC7, TS1&8, you can continue the journey as long as it is from the same company, and pay the fare again if it is not.
If you are going by coach, you will have to take back the same coach. If you intend to change to other buses, tell the driver so and he will not wait for you. However, the coach will not wait for you if you have took too long (depending on the queue, as the 2nd driver and attendant have to get off the bus like the passengers).
Also, please note that there is x-ray luggage scanning and metal detectors when entering Singapore. It is usually okay to leave the luggage on the Malaysian side when leaving Malaysia (but beware of your more expensive belongings).
Also to note, traffic can be unpredictable across the Causeway during peak hours, weekends and long holidays, so I strongly advise you against taking buses which crosses the Causeway (if not have an allowance of at least 2 hours).
