Singapore to Kuala Lumpur-bus/train?
 
I am just wondering if there is bus/train service to Kuala Lumpur from Singapore City.

Advice/experiences/recommendations appreciated.

There is both train or bus. If you take the train it is much cheaper to take a bus to Johor Bahru in Malaysia {just across the boarder) and catch the train there. There is both a day or overnight train. Have never used the bus but it would be cheaper than train I think.

I did Singapore to Melaka by bus. Big, comfortable bus with very few passengers. We did have to carry our luggage through customs entering Malaysia. Should be the same for K.L.

Simply google "bus service" or "luxury bus service" singapore to kuala lumpur" and you will find the names of some bus companies driving that route. The buses are very nice (reclining seats, a meal (not particularly good), fast and direct). You will also meet some interesting passengers. The ride is about 5 hours or so and, unless you are pressed for time, beats any of the alternatives. Also, the cost is reasonable.

aerolline drops you off at a hotel so i find it rather comforting and as for Transtar, get the one that drops you off at pasar rakyat. the one that goes to the main terminal at puduraya is very congested and sometimes, one have to be very careful..

I took the Nice Bus from Singapore to KL. Perfection! www.plusliner.com Most other bus lines lezve from places that are hard to get to. Nice leaves from a great location somewhat near to Newton Circus (for lack of better nearby points.). Buy your ticket to KL in Singapore and your return ticket to Singapore in KL upon your arrival to KL. Also, if you need to use a taxi to get from the bus station to your hotel make certain that you insist the driver use his/her meter. Do not let them quote you a rate! You will certainly pay much more if you agree to pay by quote than by meter... that was good advise I was given that I saw to be a reality!
