Buses
Inter-state destinations are covered by comfortable, air-conditioned express buses , operated either by the government's Transnational, or by state or private bus companies; each company has an office at the bus station which is where you buy your ticket. Since prices are fairly similar on all routes, it matters little which company you opt for. Buses for long-distance routes (over 3hr) typically leave in clusters in the early morning and late evening, while shorter routes are served throughout the day. In most cases you can just turn up, though on popular routes like KL to Penang (8hr; RM18.50), or Kuantan to Singapore, you should reserve ahead. Local buses usually operate from a separate station, serve routes within the state, and are cheaper, but also slower, less comfortable and without air-conditioning; buy your ticket on the bus. Several buses run across Sabah, but they are outnumbered by the more uncomfortable, and seldom faster, minibuses that leave when full, from the same terminals; Kota Kinabulu to Sandakan will cost RM15 by bus and RM20 by minibus. Landcruisers, outsized jeeps, are also common; they take eight passengers and cost less than a taxi but more than a bus. Modern air-con buses in Sarawak ply the trans-state coastal road between Kuching and the Brunei border, via Sibu (RM30), Bintulu and Miri (RM70).
