Unfortunately ...Just read your blog on First Coach. Unfortunately the bus has become older and is not maintained properly. Just took a First Coach up to KL and the aircon system is not working properly as half the journey the bus became warm and stuffy at the back. Moreover, journey hours has become 6 and half hour (on a Monday non-peak period!), so can you imagine what it will be like during the peak season. After complaining to the office, they say that I can only write in to them. Totally no service recovery! Forget it, I will stop taking First Coach. Makes more sense to pay a little more to take flights to KL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943427102231523832.post-45406823728242700012014-02-09T20:05:38.239+08:002014-02-09T20:05:38.239+08:00Same as ICook4Fun, I had my first taste of quality...Same as ICook4Fun, I had my first taste of quality long distance buses in Argentina (those were double deckers), and I'm going to try one of these soon to KL! So looking forward. Those in Argentina had built in toilets though; I guess their super long distances (ever done a 23-hour journey) warranted that.

Feed-back has been relayed to the management as per Novena counter staff. Guess business is good so no need to bother about upgrading their servers or ISP providers.koreandramafanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14348756715186739649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943427102231523832.post-63747687605537875142013-02-07T20:02:17.587+08:002013-02-07T20:02:17.587+08:00It seems to be a good service.

We do the BU - Novena route , BU ticketing office has a seating area, cafe and toilet facilities and free wifi :) Sometimes, we just decide to go back to SG last minute, we'll just take a cab there and buy tix for the next bus and sit at the cafe with our laptops. Novena is right at the MRT so it's very convenient.
