Some operators may also use Terminal Bersepadu Utara (TBS North) in Kepong or the Hentian Duta terminal, so always confirm your departure point when booking.

But popular routes may sell out. It's advisable to book in advance, for weekend or holiday travel. Use the booking widgets on travel sites to check current availability and options.

Look for the bus ticket counters on the arrival level of the airport terminals.

Online booking platforms and some major terminal counters accept international credit cards. However, many smaller counters at stations may only accept cash (Malaysian Ringgit).
