Travel between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore comfortably

You can fly between these two cities, but it may not necessarily be the fastest way as it involves travelling between the departure and arrival airport terminals and the cities, which may be a considerable distance and require significant time, checking in early, waiting for baggage, time for clearance through the immigrations and the customs, etc. And if you want extra comfort, you will have to pay dearly for first or business class. You will also have to pay airport tax which is not negligible.

Here is an alternative. Aeroline is providing Business Class luxury double decker coach services between Kuala Lumpur city center and Singapore city center. No more commuting between the terminals and the city centers. You board and disembark right at the city centers (Petaling Jaya, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore). You can travel between the city centers in just 5 hours with first class amenities on board, including ergonomically designed seats, reading lights and power sockets for your laptop or mobile phone charger. Passengers seats are in the upper deck while the lower is a lounge for chatting, business meetings, etc. There is a rest room and a kitchenette where you can get served meals and beverages by a friendly steward. Power sockets are available for your laptop and mobile phone chargers. This will be a good choice if you have fear of flying.

Safety is also ensured by having only carefully vetted and experienced drivers. Performance of drivers are strictly monitored by on-board data loggers and GPS (Global Positioning System).

Faster clearance through the custom and immigration is also ensured by using the Tuas second link which is less used compared with the causeway at Johore Baru.
