Look out for a new express coach operator between KL and Singapore.

I thought you were mentioning Honda Odyssey when I read the title Laughing

Their website is now up and running. Looks good. One-way SIN-KL costs SGD50. Departs Copthorne Orchid and arrive in Mont Kiara in KL. Utilises Scania coaches, hopefully it’s double-deckers!

Saw it today at stevens road.. Whole bus only got 1 passenger! Shocked Shocked looks like it has not done enough advertising..

And yes it utilises DDs (BJR1603)..

Superbus SG

Indeed. Heard its maiden trip departed on Monday morning. I don’t consider Odyssey coaches as DDs, but semi-DDs. Similar to Airebus’ Business Class coaches, which is basically a ‘cross-breed’ between the SKS Coachworks’ e128 and e128d Twindex models.

I took it on 1st Dec 8am northbound to try it out. (Southbound flew back same day.) R&R at Pagoh for Northbound.

Water bottle is served at start of journey at Copthrone, then goes via PIE and AYE to 2nd Link. After clearing Malaysian customs, free refreshments are served consisting of apricot slices, bread, baked beans. Coffee available upon request. Toilet not available on board. Bottom deck only for luggage and a bed for those who really need to sleep. IBE consists of some average Taito arcade games and about 12 movies each of English and Chinese movies, which are not exactly new but could do.

Sad thing is, they stop at Mont Kiara, which is nearer to Damansara and PJ than KL itself. I need a cab out to KL proper.

Scania K94IB4x2 (Brazilian chassis) high decker bus mated with DC9 inline 6-cylinder 310bhp turbocharged engine. Nice whistle, very fast as well, the driver stays on 115km/h most of the time. Departed at 8am, arrived at 1pm exactly (5 hours) at Mont Kiara. Skipped the main throughfares of KL so journey was smooth.

Sad to say, I'll prefer to fly come Feb 1st.

Shocked

At Bt Timah that hotel? Shocked

Thought MAS Shuttle and PlusLiner are alrdy based there?

Superbus SG

From the horses' mouth: K94IB 310. 5 units of high-deckers by SKSbus. Will introduce more buses in the future, with preference only for Scania chassii. They are looking into introducing the latest in coach designs by European companies, local Malaysian coachbuilders and even China's.

^tamago^ SG

All of them are still based over there. Laughing

^tamago^ SG

Grassland using double deckers. Crying or Very sad Laughing

Their lower deck here is a luggage stow. Also has beds for those who needs to sleep instead of sit.

Superbus SG

Ah? Grassland. Moi catch no balls lei. Embarassed

Alrdy many operators are looking into replacing SIN KL rt fleet to more comfy buses like the double decks to fight against the LCC flights
