How to take bus?

You might question that it's one of the toughest thing to go from 1 place to another using bus as a transport in Malaysia. Here's one simple guide on how you can reach your destination with just few simple steps.

Go to your nearest bus stop, which might varies for its look differently at different places.

Be sure of the destination that you want to go, for example, Kuala Lumpur (K.L.).Most of the buses will display their destination in front of their bus. You'll have to be observant of any incoming bus to see if they're going to the place you want to go. Do not afraid to ask other people around. Talk is free.

As soon you're sure of which bus to go into, prepare the correct amount of bus fare, because most of the time you won't get any changes back. But do ask the bus driver if you have no small change.

Here is an example of the bus ticket, modern. But also varies to different brand of bus.

Find a seat. If there is none, stand. Enjoy the trip.

Going down from bus

Notice the red alarm button on top of the passenger seat? That's for the passenger to inform the bus driver that you'll need to stop and go down from the bus. Do not simply press that, I'm sure you don't want to get beat up by the bus driver.

If you think you need to go down from the bus, approximately around 500m from the place you want to go down, press the red alarm button once, let's say if the bus driver doesn't stop after he passes the bus stop, press it again, do not abuse it! And if he doesn't stop, you have 2 option, a) talk to him nicely, let the driver know you need to stop, or b) call the police

Before going down, wait until the bus is stopped before going near the exit on the rear door. You don't want to start rolling inside the bus when there is emergency brake.

You are ready to go.

Say thank you and bye bye.
