Now you can drive from Kuala Lumpur to Penang within 5 hours within speed limits. You can reach Singapore from Kuala Lumpur in less than 5 hours too.
The PLUS Highway is toll highway of divided traffic of double lanes. There are many regular rest stops for food, relaxation or to top up the petrol as well as exits to various destinations.
You can use cash, "Touch N Go" prepaid cards or SMART scan cards. During festival holidays, there is heavy traffic and travel time may double.
So you can drive from the north starting from Kayu Hitam, at the border of Thailand, through the States of Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor to Kuala Lumpur and continue through the States of Negri Sembilan, Melaka and Johor to Johor Bahru and cross to Singapore.
Happy safe driving. Theme: Car/Motor Home

Buses are not very frequent. Taxis are cheap and faster and more comfortable than the buses. If you are not familiar with KL traffic, avoid driving. Take the comfy coach (super-VIP 21 or 24 seater coach, not the 48 seaters) for long distance journey. You can even have a good night sleep on the bus. Train is cheap too, and it passes by the rural areas but it takes longer than the bus. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

The bus is a cheap and efficient way to travel.
You also get to meet the locals in the true situations.
Better hop onto one, though be warned to empty your bladders before the journey ! Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Petrol price is controlled at RM1.92 per liter. All are unleaded. Some petrol companies have a higher premium grade or lower regular grade in addition to the regular grade.
Major petrol companies are Petronas, BP, Esso, Caltex and Shell.
Most petrol stations have restrooms. Note that "air" is water, "24 jam" is 24 hours in Malay. Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Air Asia by ant1606
We flew between Johor Bahru and Kuching, for a return fare of 30 Euro (37 US$) per person, flights was booked in advance via Air Asia website.
The aircraft was in excellent conditions. Seating is free as it's not assigned at check-in. Like any other budget airline there is no free service on board, although there's the chance to purchase snacks and drinks at a reasonable price. Leave a Comment

Two-wheelers are a peculiar constant in Asia and Malaysia in no exception.
Motorcycles are conveniently useful to move around congested urban areas. And used to transport or deliver goods of any kind.
Many shopping malls have dedicated lockers for helmets, and Malaysian toll highways have a dedicated toll-free lane for motorcycles. This should be enough to tell about the quantity of such vehicles on the roads. At times, they cruise like a river stream.
We rented one in Penang, Batu Ferringhi area, for the price of 30RM (6 Euro) per 24 hours. The small semi-automatic gear, 4-stroke engine sucked less than 3RM (about 2 liters worth of gas) to take us around all day. Is there any cheaper way to be independent? I simply presented a translation of my driver's license and I wasn't asked for more documents. Advance payment included a deposit of extra 100RM that was refunded upon return. Helmet is mandatory and we got two along with the bike. Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle

Traveling by coach is probably the best way to tour Malaysia.
Several companies operate lines connecting the main cities throughout the country. The quality and comfort of coaches varies from acceptable to luxurious.
Bus stations are quite chaotic but safe. Too many ticket counters to choose from, each of them acting as an independent travel agent or being the official counter of a major coach company. Pushers compete to prompt you to buy a ticket, many of them continuously yelling out the name of a destination. My advise is to avoid listening to these guys but rather look at coaches pictures and read the schedule signs posted on most ticket counters. Ask for some prices and time of departure, then choose the most appropriate. Ride connecting most important cities can have as many departures as every 30 minutes.
Boarding gates are organized by numbers, make sure to go to the right one as the company name on your ticket may be different from the one written on the bus. Show your ticket prior to board to be double sure.
We chose to select the upper end of fare range and always traveled aboard comfortable and air-conditined coaches. As an example, fare betwen KL and Penang was 27 RM (6 Euro) each for a 4-5 hours direct ride with only one stop middleway for body leaks.
Drivers might franticly wave at any other coach they come across on excellent conditions highways. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
