Aeroline is fantastic. Used it about 10 times. Always on time, friendly, clean, comfortable. It is the best choice between kl and penang. thanks for the video.
Your bus ride reminded me when in 2019, i was religiously commuting between Singapore and KL on every Friday. Flight were too expensive and my only option was bus. And now i kinda miss it..
Thanks, Taylor. That was such a great video. I've been away from Malaysia for 5 months now, and your video just fueled my desire to return. It won't be long now. My MM2H application has been submitted, so now it's just the waiting game for me.
I always take Aeroline back to Penang from KL but I always avoid travel on it on weekends as d highway can get busy n pray not untowards incidents or accident along d way dat one could well be stuck on d bus for extra hours albeit there’s a built in toilet haha…taking ETS is another gd alternative n safe d worries of highway conditions, d only snag is it only goes to Butterworth n not Penang island!
@ try taking ETS train from KL Sentral to Butterworth now only 4 hrs duration n extremely punctual, from there take d speedboat ferry to Georgetown Penang island is another good alternative…their business class train seats usually selling like hot cakes!
Hi Taylor! I loved your pick of the YT video music! Nice guitar tune. Being not familiar with where Penang was, I looked it up - a notable 4 hour road travel time from KLCC according to Google Maps. So I guess it was cheaper - and certainly less frustrating - than getting on a flight. Indeed, pray for us here in the USA! ☹
Love this, Taylor. I have a friend coming from Scotland in December who will go to Penang for a day or two, so they have this to help them know what the bus is like. So helpful. Thank you!
Taylor, one of your best. you are pretty good at the editing, looked professional. Glad you are enjoying your life in Malaysia, you look to be very happen.
Looked like a lovely scenic trip up to Penang, Taylor. On my very first trip to SE Asia in 2001, I happened to stay at the Corus (then called the Ming Court) and had a beautiful view of the twin towers from my room. Unfortunately, today, I'm not so sure the view is as good with all the extra towers now built. I also rented a car and drove up to Cameron Highlands. On other trips, I've visited Penang a few times now; it's always fun to spend some time there and experience the contrast to KL. I was hoping to get back to Malaysia in January when I'll again be in SE Asia but, unfortunately, won't be able to make it there on this trip. Hopefully another time. Thanks for all your videos on living in Malaysia; I always look forward to seeing them! The background music on this one was particularly nice.
Thanks Andy for taking us along. Much different experience from the bus back in the end of the last century when I can remember getting off an old Benz "Limousine" bus with flat air suspension, No AC miserable, cramped seats, about half way between Penang and K.L. and hiring a cab for the rest of of the ride. What I pray for most is an end to weaponized Identity Politics that is psycho-emotionally destroying America and seems to still plague Malaysia as well.
I would love to drive over Penang 2nd bridge.... I lived in Kedah and always used the first bridge to drive over to George Town after they stopped running the "old" car ferries..... I did sail under the 2nd bridge when it was being built and again after it was completed... they had the most beautiful lights on the 2nd bridge at night as seen from the water... maybe you have been there in the night and seen that lighting
I tried the bus once it took forever constructions everywhere . I love ETS from KL central to Butterworth . Taylor can you video that segment and you get to take a ferry to Penang 😂
I love Penang,after for sometime. We went by bus 28 of us and my work colleagues.We had meeting Stay at YMCA Hotel. Penang AMAZING ❤ Love that jambu jerok in Green & Pink Colour.We had fun shopping. Enjoy the bus ride and Penang Sir 🙏 Watching Your channel from PJ
Mr Andrew around the 9th minute of the video I believe that is Gua Tempurung this is the side seen from the highway. I don't know if you've been inside for the cave tour, its quite interesting and a large cave
Great vlog. We will be in Penang for 4 days in March. We have been there numerous times before, but always enjoy it. Look forward to your future experiences. Sorry about your election! Very worrying outcome! At least you are in Malaysia. Take care x
@@andrewtaylor4558 that’s good to know thanks, Andrew I’m not going to wander off if I need to get back on a bus or change trains, but I still like to know.
Nice on the Areoline Bus, hope u have enjoyed the ride, hope u have a pleasant weekend in Penang , nice video, i was a ex staff of Corus Hotel ! If u need more info of the hotel u can refer to me ya !
There is also no capital gains tax. We do have Real Gains Property Tax. But if you sell your property on the 6th year, this tax does not apply. We dont have estate duty as well. So send all your money here and transfer it to the next generation here as well
Used to be no tax after 5 years. That changed. - I paid 10% capital gains tax on my property in kl - I owned it 14 years!. The rules changed and were back-dated. @sltung6130
You are really really awesome...!!!😁😁😁 Definitely your retirement in Malaysia is so wonderful enjoying the delicious multi varieties of local foods, nasi lemak, roti canai, Ramly Burger and more, experiencing the huge tropical rain forest, the beaches, seas, the mountains, waterfalls, the kampung2 and many more hihi...!!! 🌹 MALAYSIA BOLEH..!!! 🌷❤️🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾❤️🌷😁💪💪💪💪 💖🌹 ❤️🌷
Aeroline is fantastic. Used it about 10 times. Always on time, friendly, clean, comfortable. It is the best choice between kl and penang. thanks for the video.
I agree! It's my favorite bus company too. But one time it took
over 7 hours
@ Was the delay related to traffic or was it a mechanical problem or lateness. If it was traffic congestion then that is not the fault of aeroline.
@ traffic, yes. On a holiday weekend.
One problem is the need to go to the toilet that's why I don't drink much on the bus. I prefer the ETS train nowadays haha.
@ There is a toilet for emergencies. Plus they make a stop half way there. Most people can wait 2 hours or so.
Your bus ride reminded me when in 2019, i was religiously commuting between Singapore and KL on every Friday. Flight were too expensive and my only option was bus. And now i kinda miss it..
It is such a great way to travel between the two cities! 🤗
Thanks, Taylor. That was such a great video. I've been away from Malaysia for 5 months now, and your video just fueled my desire to return. It won't be long now. My MM2H application has been submitted, so now it's just the waiting game for me.
That's wonderful news! I hope the wait isn't too long!
Congratulation Sir
The West Malaysia MM2H or the SMM2H?
Big difference commitment wise
@@teatree6228 I chose the West Malaysia MM2H. I had already been planning on purchasing a property in KL, probably in Desa ParkCity, so it made sense.
@@jimw2566good choice. I went for the sarawak mm2h- i actually like sarawak heaps.
❤ the bus system there is excellent and really well priced. You get to relax and enjoy the scenery. 🙂
It is so easy to get around Malaysia!
thank you Andrew - so enjoyed the trip with you! Fabulous scenery!
It's such a beautiful route! 🤗

@@AmpangBoy ask them to buy d bus tickets early as they got sold out pretty fast!
@ivangooi2732 thanks, yes, I will do.
I love that bus ride, I like to look out the window.
Clever on polishing up your brocasting skill. You make us to wait what next at Penang? Really enjoy your presentation. Thank you. Take care.

Have a great time in Penang, Taylor. I studied in Penang (USM) during the mid-80s. Those days a plate of Char Koay Teow was 80sen!
Loved the video! Looking to retire in KL but I am far older than you! New to the channel, can't wait to watch more videos, especially MM2H videos.
I hope you enjoy the other videos! 😊

Hope that you have had a smooth journey on bus to Penang.
Can also take the bus from Sunway Piramid and Damansara Utama to Penang. All 3 routes stop at Queensbay Penang.
Good to know! 🤗
I tried the bus once it took forever constructions everywhere . I love ETS from KL central to Butterworth . Taylor can you video that segment and you get to take a ferry to Penang 😂
The ETS train is a great option!
What a lovely bus journey thanks Taylor
I love Penang,after for sometime.
We went by bus 28 of us and my work colleagues.We had meeting Stay at YMCA Hotel.
Penang AMAZING ❤
Love that jambu jerok in Green & Pink Colour.We had fun shopping.
Enjoy the bus ride and Penang Sir 🙏 Watching Your channel from PJ
Penang is such a vibrant city! 😄
My weekly dose of positive vibe.
Nice Video. I would be travelling with my 3 yr old kid. Is it safe to book the top two front seats?
They do have seatbelts. I’ve had those seats before though and it was too much sun.
Really enjoy this video. Used to board Aeroline when my daughter was studying in Singapore. Glad you have a wonderful journey, Andrew 😊
Looks like a comfy bus ride!
What a great comfortable Bus to travel to Penang on
So informative Andrew are mulling between Thailand and Malaysia to move to short
Term .
Thanks for the content. I’ve been looking at different options to get to Penang from KL and I now have my answer. Thanks
I am glad you found it helpful!

Great you enjoyed the bus, weren't you lived in Penang before?👍..Oh...what the latest news about your friend that American judge? 😇
Haven’t seen him lately.
Love your Mister Roger's vibes Taylor ❤ Thanks for sharing your life in KL
Thank you so much ☺️
It's beautiful. So green!! We'll, it's looking like I will never get to visit there,so keep up the good work :-)
Have a nice holiday mr taylor. Karipap😂
Now that looks like a great bus trip...😊
Great vlog. We will be in Penang for 4 days in March. We have been there numerous times before, but always enjoy it. Look forward to your future experiences. Sorry about your election! Very worrying outcome! At least you are in Malaysia. Take care x
Thank you so much ☺️
I will be back next week to satisfy my craving.
No, that election makes me want to leave the country. I'm enjoying your videos.
Thank you. I’m so grateful that I already did. 😪
Hi Taylor. I loved this video, thank you for doing it. Did I miss how long the bus ride was and how much it cost? Thank you!
4.5 hours. Rm 150 round trip
Nice video Andrew, did I miss how much the bus ticket cost and how long the journey was?
4.5 hours. Rm 148 round trip
Also, I believe the video didn’t show the bus station on Penang. What was it like please?
It drops you at Queensbay Mall, not a bus station. You can eat and shop while you wait. 🤗
@@andrewtaylor4558 thank you, that’s much better to be dropped off at the mall than a bus station.
Nice view Taylor
How long was the break at the bus rest stop? Did you have a good knowledge of when the bus was going to leave?
15 minutes. They make sure everyone is back on.
@@andrewtaylor4558 that’s good to know thanks, Andrew
I’m not going to wander off if I need to get back on a bus or change trains, but I still like to know.
Sure beats Greyhound (J/K). I am sure Earl Grey will miss you. Thank you for the bus trip vlog. Enjoy your time in Penang. Safe travels.
Earl Grey will be fine - he's too busy being a cat! 🙂
Please come to Sarawak and try Pan Borneo highway from Telok Melano to Miri
Try the hydrogen ART
That bus, you took looked almost as comfortable as a plane or more
It is! 🤗
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support! 🤗
Their starbux karipaps are yummy- only potatoes and curry. The hot chocolate too is ym.
Good morning! I was having my curry puff while watching this… haha 😂

Could you tell me the “about” cost for your trip.
Bus rm 148 round trip or less than $40
🙏 thank you!! Great price! ❤your videos are so helpful and has helped us plan our trip to Malaysia ( yes we are here currently)
Hi Taylor, thanks for a great video. How long does it take to ride the bus from KL to Penang and how much does a round trip ticket cost? Thanks
From leaving your home to arriving at your destination doorstep. Half a day.
@@sonnymak6707 Thanks
The bus takes 4 1/2 to 5 hours. It’s about Rm 150 round trip. 🤗

Hi Andrew I wish I could move to kl,from the UK.in regards to trump it makes you think what people are really like in usa
Yes, so sad. 😢
Hidup karipap! 😋😅
Be careful not to use the bus power point to charge your phone. Be safe.
Thanks for the tip! I don’t.
That is from the static electricity generated when the bus is moving
What's the buzz with palm oil farm?? 😂
Why does Grab assign the furthest car from you?😁
I have wondered the same thing. 😂
Just curious, why the sad face about the palm oil farm , is it bad for our health ? I believe in healthy food.
Palm oil farms sacrifice rain forests
Why are you sad when you see the palm oil farm?
Plan oil farms are created from destroyed rainforests. 😪
@@andrewtaylor4558 true, but wouldn’t anytime they build new houses in places with rainforest such as Malaysia also destroy the rainforest. ?
karipap!! 😂😂 in malaysia we called and spell "karipap".
Isn’t that what I said? 😂
Oh gee, I wish I was born in Malaysia.
U have to have a strong currency to afford the lifestyle there
@@teatree6228 What it cost for food for a family of five members in average house?
@ i would not know. I have always been a tourist in penang.
Hi Andrew... I've heard there is no income tax on foreign income? Is this true?

Bus easy as no need take ferry or grab to penang island
