Bus from KL to/from Malacca

by kayko2000

I've seen previous posting saying Transnasional is a good coachline to take to Malacca from/to Kuala Lumpur. But their website doesn't seem to be working properly.

Anyone know the status of this company? Or any other suggestions?

Thanks
Kevin

Re: Bus from KL to/from Malacca

Just walk-in and buy the ticket at the Puduraya station. That's the single largest bus company in Malaysia

Anyway there are numerous buses plying KL-Melak route..If u miss Transnasional try others...Nxt week is not a school holidays so it's still OK to walk-in

Great, thanks!
How early do the buses run?

Re: Bus from KL to/from Malacca

by stimix

Probably around 6:30am to 7am..Anyway Malacca is not far from KL. It's just ~150KM away...or 2.5hrs by bus

Agree with Stimix - when you are ready to go just go to bus station buy ticket and get on bus very simple - no need whatsoever to prebook.

Really, 6:30am to 7am? That early?

From the information I found about Cameron Highlands transportation, the earliest buses are 8:30am. Which is unfortunate, because with the long travel, I'd love to get there (CH) earlier if I could.

Travel Tips for Melaka

Kampong Kling Mosque

by Audrey118

Along Jalan Tokong (Temple street where the famous Cheng Hoon temple is), is the Kampung Kling Mosque.

This is one of the oldest in the country; it was built during the 17th century.

It has a unique architecture which is a blend of Sumatran and Western architecture with a 3 tier pyramid roof, a touch of Hindu influence perhaps but also has a pagoda look. The carved wooden ceiling is supported by elegant Corinthian-styled columns.
The floor is laid with English and Portugese glazed tiles.

The mosque is located at the junction of Jalan Lekiu and Jalan Tukang Emas.

Christmas Decoration in Portuguese Settlement

by dfactor

Houses in the Portuguese settlement are all light up during Christmas. Santas, reindeers, elf all turn up full force on the fences, roof tops and door ways of houses here. The traffic is reduced to a crawl on Christmas eve, everyone just wants to get in to get a piece of the action in the settlement area.
Apart from the Serani community, which is the descendant of Portuguese and Malay mix marriage, this place is also famous for it's food. The most popular food would be the Portuguese style baked fish. Which you can find as far as KL.

Sing Sing

by nthesigan

This is a little eating shop in Jonker's street that has great food for dirt cheap prices.

The environment is comfortable and cozy. You will get authentic Melaka food and the Baba cendol.

Besides that you will get a free exhibition of artifact salvage from sunken treasures. I have taken a picture of the shop but it is still not processed yet. I will put it on-line as soon as it is ready

Very cozy and dirt cheap.

Estate living

by muddybok

This is a the typical estate setting where the road is of red earth, tall coconut trees & surrounded by either rubber trees or oil palms.

Be considerate and drive slowly when you drive passes the village especially during the dry season. It may take minutes for dust to settle.

Nick is molesting my PMOY's butt. Naughty!!

Jusco Melaka

by mansionion about Jusco Melaka

As an associate of the AEON Group of Japan, the Jusco department store is among the first international retail outlets operating in Melaka since 1991.

The store is popular with the locals for their households needs and supermarket items, particularly for its Japanese products. It is also popular among Singaporean visitors who normally make their shopping spree here before returning to the island via the North-South highway nearby.

There are ample free car parking for shoppers here. Apart from the Jusco department store, there are also other shopping and dining outlets within the complex such as McDonalds, KFC and many more speciality shops.

For shoppers who want a variety of goods at good value for money, its worth to pay a visit to Jusco Melaka. Household and supermarket items. About average price, go during sale for more bargains.
