Current news on August 2008, almost all Malaysia buses owner will increase the ticket price to minimum 30% for Aidilfitri season. So that, some people prefer to tour by train which the ticket price is cheaper than bus ticket. Beside that, tour by train is more comfortable because you can walk anywhere in train but you cannot walk in the bus. You also can go to the toilet without need to wait till the train stop. KTM Berhad first class train has prepared bed for their customer special for long journey tour.
Actually there is an advantage and disadvantage whether you choose to tour by train or bus.
Advantage
Bus: Move faster, take short time to reach your destination
Train: Safety- Low risk of accident
Disadvantage
Bus: Safety- High risk of accident
Train: Take more time to arrive your destination than bus. For example, if bus takes 8 hours, train may take 10 hours.
It’s up to you to plan the best way for you journey. For me, I’ll choose bus for long journey and train for short journey. I don’t like to feel too tired tour by train unless you want to choose first class train.
