Aeroline Coach to Penang

FPig wanted to go back Penang. MPig afraid that it was not safe for FPig to go to Puduraya to buy a normal coach ticket back to Penang. Even though now Puduraya has already refurbished and there was air-conditioned in the whole building, clean and nice, like airport.

MPig suggested me to try Aeroline, even though it is double the normal price, but at least it is considered the first class coach in Malaysia from KL to PG if compared to the rest.

 


It costs RM60 per journey from KL to PG. There is a lot of departure station in KL. You can either take it in KL, Sunway, the Mines or 1-Utama. Since 1-Utama is the nearest to our house, I choosed the one on Sunday morning. There was only two boarding time per day. One is 10:30am and the other one is 4:30pm.

The journey was considered quite comfortable and fast. It took around 4 hours to reach Penang. It reached Queensbay mall as the first stop and the final destination is the Sungai Dua Bus Terminal. It stopped once after around 2 hours journey.

It provides complimentary water and a subway sandwich of the day. There was a coach crew besides the driver. Hot drinks like coffee, tea or milo will be provided.

The coach has two decker. The lower decker has a few sofa setting with a big LCD screen TV.

The top decker is like the normal coach setting. Some passengers prefer to sit at the low decker, so there will be some empty spaces at the top decker. I noticed that there was some elderly who sat at the lower decker because it was spacious and they did not have to climb the stairs to the top.

All in all, I found that it can be considered worth the price. Even though the sofa and the window curtain was a bit old and smelly.

You can book the ticket online via www.aeroline.com.my, paying through credit card will be charged 3%.The alternative way is go to the ticket selling point to buy the ticket.

This is the waiting lounge at 1-utama. Coffee and tea are provided free of charge. There is free wifi, but I just wonder why I cannot login at all. ;p
