To Singapore by bus

Its been quite sometime since I last use express bus service. I decided to try this Aeroline express to Singapore from Sunway Pyramid. It was a pleasant journey, about 5 hours to reach Harbour Front in Singapore entering through Tuas. The seats are big as you can see in the photos, they serve packed Chicken Rice Shop meals on board and free drinks as well served by a stewardess. Every seats has its own power socket - for your laptop or handphone - unfortunately there in no Wi-Fi on board :). It cost RM 80 one way and I find the whole thing quite convenient compared to taking a flight. Mind you if you take a flight it will take 1 hour to go to KLIA, 1.5-2 hours waiting at the airport, 1 hour for the actual flight and another 1 hour to get out of Changi. In total about 5 hours too.

The stop at Singapore, at harbourfront is the exit point for ferries to Batam etc, Sentosa island is right across it, the cable car station is right next to the shopping mall, together with Vivo City. This seven-storied shopping destination at the HarbourFront in Singapore is huge and spacious for shopping. It houses Singapore's biggest cinema with 15 screens along with other features such as food courts, spas, electrical shops, gyms, restaurants etc. The building is designed by the famous Japanese architect Toyo Ito.
