Malaysia is not a very large country geographically, nonetheless, her 30 million people live in population centers that are somewhat far from each other. Malaysia is 46th in the world for car ownership with only 361 cars per 1,000 people (for comparison the US is 809 cars for every 1,000 people), so as a result there is a vibrant public transportation system that connects the various cities around the country.

While there are trains around the country, the stations are typically in the center of cities which requires travelers to have another method of transportation to get to their final destination. The better and more popular method of travel is a bus which can connect many different neighborhoods and cities. There are many bus companies which operate both domestic and international routes.

Within this ecosystem of bus travel, there are a handful of companies that offer online bus tickets in Malaysia.
