Bus to Pangkor

The bus is a great way of transport in Malaysia. Not only the quality of the busses is great, most of the roads are in excellent condition. Get the bus from Penang (Butterworth) to Pangkor, it takes only 2 1/2 hours. From Kuala Lumpur only 3 hours. Most busses are VIP or Super VIP. Even for tall westerners these busses are comfortable.

The bus in Malaysia is faster, and I mean FASTER, then the train. Even a journey from Lumut (the gateway to Pulau Pangkor) to Singapore takes only 10-12 hours, all through the night. Come to Malaysia and take the bus!
