[With English Subtitles] Let's Go Kuala Lumpur onboard Eltabina Express!
After the surprise acquisition of MAN R40 double-deckers in 2023, Eltabina has done it again in 2024. This time, the established operator have brought in 2 units of the Volvo B11RLE fitted with Gemilang Coachworks' new double-deck coach bodywork. A first for Eltabina and of course, Malaysia. I have a sweet spot for Volvo coaches and have rode numerous such coaches in Indonesia. So how does the Eltabina one fared?

Great trip. It's great you are back. Also it's great to see Volvo Coach debuting in Malaysia. Eltabina current brand feels like Tesla. No onboard meal, but they have pantry onboard, and sadly no toilet, even their entire fleet didn't have it. Next I hope you can visit another neighbour countries and try their bus/coaches, especially Malaysia to Thailand or going to Borneo side of Malaysia and try bus over there.

I’m a fan of Eltabina Coach as it’s quite reliable and very punctual. On weekdays the bus stops at Seremban but on weekends (like Friday night), Eltabina separates the Seremban-bound and KL-bound buses. Also, i also noticed that one of the two buildings in JB checkpoint (Tuas side) does not have autogate functions and will need to stamp passport if you are Singaporean. The night bus also does not stop at Yong Peng and will just stop in Melaka State for toilet break.

The immigration building at KSAB that you mention was built specifically for tour buses, which was why there are no E-Gates in that building. Thank you for sharing the information with us :)

Yes excellent and all that. But please please please set a strict maintenance regime and clean the interiors thoroughly as well, otherwise defeat the purpose.

I could not find this bus in any of the website mentioned above. Only single decker buses from Eltabina including their official website. Can you please help/ confirm if this service has started from SG to KL?

@jomnaikbas Ай бұрын

In the video, I have mentioned and explained the exact same topic you asked. Please take some time to go through it again. Thank you.

Thanks for introducing this coach which I never heard of. This will be one of my next choice to M'sia. Thanks again. Since I am new here, I hope to see more coaches company to M'sia from you to keep me updated which company having a realiable coach service as I already subscribe your channel. This is because recently I had a bad experience on my first coach trip to KL after the locked down. And the coach company of caused on my blacklist now. At least u faced a traffic issue to arrive KL around 8 hrs travel time. But mine was worst...no traffic issue and no stop at seremban but still reached Berjaya Times Sq after nearly 8hrs too (7am-2.30pm=7.5hrs)🤦‍♀️ Without knowing the journey including 2 more pick-up points in SG after my pick-up point🤷‍♀️ Just wondering....with your wide experieces and knowledge about coaches....is express coaches are allowed to have more than two pick-up and drop-off points as they like which make the journey longer? And do coaches are allowed to transfer passengers to other coaches which not belong to the same company after crossing boarder in M'sia? Thanks in advance. I am really lost after facing that first time bad experience recently(2wks ago) SG-KL after locked down.

Hello. I’m sorry to learn of your unpleasant experience travelling on the express bus. Coach companies are allowed to have multiple pickup/dropoff points in both Singapore and Malaysia, so long as the permit allows them to do so. The number of stops the service makes is also at the discretion of the operator. Having multiple pickup points allow the operators to offer convenience to their passengers. Nowadays, many coach operators have a disclaimer on their tickets or reservation slips that transfers to other coaches at the checkpoints may happen when necessary. It may not necessarily be to a coach from the same operator. Many operators have affiliations with other companies, or sister companies under the same parent company.

Why you never state the technical specs of the bus?

@syahirhaziq3764 Ай бұрын

I have yet to try out Eltabina but it has only KL-JB routes and not JB-KL, is it too competitive for KL-JB routes?

@jomnaikbas Ай бұрын

Excellent observation. You can say, from an economical and efficiency point of view, it makes sense for them to completely cease one-way JB-KL services for now. And yes, there are too many operators on that route that it seems saturated, with many buses running with empty seats even during peak hours.

Unfortunately for them kkkl and causeway link hold the superior power for jb kl trip
