Malaysia is one of Southeast Asia's best-connected coach hire destinations. The Peninsular's North-South Expressway (PLUS highway) provides fast, reliable coach travel between Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Ipoh, Johor Bahru, and the Thai border -- a network of over 900 km of modern expressway. Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) at Sepang is the main international gateway; Penang (PEN), Langkawi (LGK), and Kota Kinabalu (BKI) in Sabah all receive international leisure traffic. East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) on the island of Borneo is a separate coach hire market with different infrastructure and operators.
Malaysian coach operators are licensed under the Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board (CVLB) and the Land Public Transport Commission. Malaysia drives on the left. Vehicles available range from full-size 45-seat touring coaches on the PLUS highway to smaller 4WD and minibuses for East Malaysia's Borneo routes. Malaysia uses the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). The country is a year-round destination; December to February is the main peak period driven by Chinese New Year and school holidays. Cross-border services into Singapore via Johor Bahru are among the most frequently requested inter-city coach routes in the region.
