    Beca (Trishaw)
  • Tip Rating:
  • A popular mode of transport for the touristy area in Melaka, particularly the historical zone of Banda Hilir and its vicinity. It is a good alternative to enjoy Melaka in a slow and laid back manner rather than walking.

    The fare is based on hourly basis @ RM50.00 per hour (more or less, do bargain for lesser fare).

    Do not worry if there's no car accompany you to do sight seeing around historical old city Malacca. There's also available traditional tri-cycle called rickshaw or becak in my lingo. Colorful with artificial flowers on top of the roof [hahahhaa, remind me with cart for wedding party something :)] and we can order the driver to play some music!!!! Truely loud sometimes.
    PS: Bok, who are these guys here? Have we ever introduce one to each other?? :D

    Singapore Bus Express
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you want to go to Melaka you can take the Singapore Express. In october of 2003 it cost me $11.00. The bus will make 3 stops. 2 Stops at the border and one of them at a Bar where you can buy, eat and go to the toilet. At the bus station a man will come to you for ask you if you want to change money. I founded the change correct. There I get my first MYR.

    Melaka to Johor/ Singapore
  • Tip Rating:
  • There are a lot of buses traveling from Melaka to Singapore.

    The ticket fare is Rm13.75. These bus can get full during weekend, especially Sunday when many Singaporean rushing back home after 2 days holiday in Melaka. So make sure to get your ticket early.

    The counter will usually tell you it takes around 3-4 hours to travel from Melaka to SIngapore. However my experience was, I took 2:30pm bus from Melaka and reached Singapore at around 8pm. It really depends on the jam.

    Alternatively, there are taxis travel from Melaka to Johor as well. The taxi stand is located in the same building but at the opposite side of the buses.

    Bus from Singapore
  • Tip Rating:
  • I arrived in Melaka in December 2005 following a 5 hour bus journey from Singapore.

    I took a bus operated by a company called Konsortium, which left the Golden Mile Tower in Singapore at 8am. I purchased my ticket 2 days in advance and I initially attempted to purchase a ticket for the 7am bus, but it had already sold out - be sure to book your ticket in plenty of time!

    The journey of 5 hours included a lengthy wait (nearly 1 hour) in standing traffic at the Singapore customs point and a 30 minute stop off for refreshments at a food centre in Malaysia.

    The bus was quite luxurious, with loads of leg room and reclining seats (sleepers), making the long journey very comfortable.

    The bus company provides all passengers with a complimentary snack bag containing a bottle of mineral water, a piece of chocolate cake and a slice of coconut cake.

    The bus dropped me off at the new Express Bus station in Melaka, which is approximately 4km from the city centre.

    Note: if you have a guide book written pre-2005, the map of Melaka will show the Express Bus station as being located close to the city centre. However, this bus station has now been replaced by the new Express Bus station and you will need to take a (cheap) taxi from there to the city centre.

    The cost of the journey was S$20 (approx 8 GBP / 12 Euros).
