Public transport from Malacca to Kuala Lumpur and from KL to Malacca.The bus terminals are :Melaka Sentral by Transnasional or KKKL Express and return is via Bandar Tasik Selatan transport hub in Selangor.
Please check with ticketing on exact the time schedule.The normal routine is hourly intervals.However on weekends there may be additional trips at selected half hourly intervals.
Arrival is about 2 hours in cases of smooth traffic flow on normal traffic days.When there is a extended weekends or public holidays then heavier outflow and inflow of vehicles on the North South highway may cause some delays.
The ride is very comfortable and scenic along some stretches if you like greenery.
When the Melaka bus arrives at the new terminal at Bandar Tasik Selatan,please disembark and proceed to get tickets for your continued travel to KL.Eg if you want to get to Kelana Jaya Station in Petaling Jaya(PJ) you need to walk over to the connected LRT station and purchase the tickets for boarding accordingly.
If you want to go to places nearer KL City Centre you would probably get down before the Masjid Jamek interchange .If going to Kelana Jaya you need to change to Putra line at Masjid Jamek.The interchange is now fully covered and safe and easy to move around.
If you are continuing your journey into KL city or thereabouts by bus or KTM commuter train,please make the enquiries and get your tickets and board accordingly.
Below are some pictures of the Bandar Tasik Selatan transport hub.I personally enjoyed the trip very recently.
The whole place is airconditioned,has escalators and signages,shops and ample seats in waiting areas.There are electronic boards to show arrival and departure and status of the bus for which you have bought the tickets.Even the bus nos. are stated so everything is efficient.I must really say I would give it top marks .The only area to improve would be the toilet floors which were a bit too wet .
Comparing this with my earlier Pudu Raya terminal experiences ,this is indeed a quantum leap.The comfort level is something that has improved many fold.I would suggest perhaps a mini food court or more fast food outlets like what we have in Melaka Sentral.
Overall it is getting nearer to match KLIA standards:)Well Done!
