The Transtar Experience
Jan 17, 2006 in Diary-writer
Eric thought that I could do with the experience of being on a luxury bus ('cos he say I damn suaku, have to try new things once in a while). So a month ago, he booked some tickets on Transtar where the tickets were going for SGD 56 per piece.
I didn't manage to take a photo of the bus driver and the steward (yes they have a steward on every Transtar First Class Coach), and here's the only one I got. Both of them wore smart suits, wahahahah, very gaya like that.
The seats were huge: only 16 seats on the whole bus.
These came with massage buttons, five different modes to choose from (they all felt the same though).
We had game consoles to play nintendo with too. The games were pretty old, the type I used to play when I was around 8.
Each seat comes equipped with its own LCD screen.
Can listen to music, can watch documentaries. Can watch movies too. Plus the movies were pretty new. Guess which show this came from.
We had okay-tasting dinner in pre-packed boxes. The food tasted OKAY, for meals served on a bus journey. They're not as good as the meals you get on some flights, but Eric said the set he got on a previous trip was WAYYYY better than this.
The next time you have extra cash to spare, you might want to try Transtar. I mean, with a driver in suits, a well-mannered steward, and personal osim massage chairs complete with movies and meals to boot, the four hour + journey back from Singapore–KL IS considerably faster. SGD56 is a little steep of course, but you get what you pay for.
