Hi,
I'll be going to genting highland, and got to know this travel agency from www.citiex.com.sg.
I have not heard about this travel agency before and hope you guys can help me here.
Let me know if it'll be safe to travel with this coach.
Please give comments and advices for Citiexchange Express & Services's coaches.
Thank you so much.

i just went to Genting - main reason is to travel on the Express Coach!~
Grassland (the one i selected) is not bad - can book at Golden Mile Complex.
And there's a main stopover at a giant foodcourt cum supermarket at Yong Peng. -
Thank you for your advice.
By the way, have you heard of citiexchange express and services coach?
It's located at Kovan hub.
Not sure if it's trustworthy.
It's cheap though.. Around $20 cheaper than other coaches. -

actually its 1 dead, 2 critically injured.
Better pray at temple before you go...cuz now is rainy season, road becomes slippery and dangerous.

Grassland is good. I always use Grassland coaches to and fro KL, genting to sg.

i remember some time ago, one forumite actually posted a thread about Grassland's coach service, putting customers' lives at risk.Originally posted by nightzip:Grassland is good. I always use Grassland coaches to and fro KL, genting to sg.
Can't remember where's the thread tho. -
yup, like 1-2 months back. They speeded or something.

Omg...
That was so unfortunate..
Hope I'll be fine.... T_T -
Hmm this reminds me of something. I was on a MAN coach from 777 tours . A car infront of us slowed down suddenly and our BC just swerve left and right to try avoid it WITHOUT using the brakes. It happened during a rainstorm somemore. Our uncle say we are lucky, if not arh .... langa into the railing, the consequences is unimaginable. Yikes !Originally posted by browniebaobao:i remember some time ago, one forumite actually posted a thread about Grassland's coach service, putting customers' lives at risk.

Maybe it is advisable to pay more to travel with the company known for its good reputation.Originally posted by Paranoia08:Hi,

Good reputation would mean the coach company maintains its fleet of coaches well with regular maintainenance, the conditions of its tyres and track record of drivers it hires.
There again there is no gaurantee your journey will be absolutelysafe from dangers. Once on the road, anything can happen.
If the reputation of the best coach company still worries you, then don't go at all. -
jus dun take 707

Singaporean dies in accident in Malaysia
A Singaporean woman who was on her way to Cameron Highlands died in an accident early Friday morning.
Her tour bus was travelling to the highland region 20 kilometres east of Ipoh when it collided with a container lorry.
The 40-year-old woman died after sustaining head injuries.
Three others were injured.
The remaining 20 Singaporean tourists on the bus escaped unhurt.
According to Singapore's Foreign Affairs Ministry, the body of the dead woman has been brought back to Singapore.
All Singaporeans involved in the accident have also returned.
It is believed that the lorry skidded and collided with the bus, which was travelling in the opposite direction.
The lorry driver has been detained for questioning. -
Almost all Singapore coach drivers reduce speed or drive accordingly(70-85kmh)at Malaysian Roads unlike Malaysian coach drivers which they would normally whack the bus from 90-165km/h.Reason is to be early at destination for longer breaks and earn more trip money

Citiexchange is just the ticketing agent. They do not own the coaches. On its website, Citiex is a ticketing agent for Memory Express, CepatSedia Express, Jebat Express, StarLiner and City Holidays. They also sell tickets for Lapan Lapan Express.
In other words, if you are going Genting, most likely you will be getting a coach from StarLiner and/or Lapan Lapan Express. Since the agent is based at Kovan Hub Express Terminal, I wonder why it did not mention KKKL-Trans Lim Express. -
That's right. No matter how reputable or excellent the coach company is, if the conditions are right for an accident, it will happen. Transtar Express is reputable, but its coaches aren't spared from accidents as well. So does Transnasional, Grassland, Konsortium, Five Stars and the rest of the big boys.Originally posted by ninefold9:Maybe it is advisable to pay more to travel with the company known for its good reputation.
