About TBS Bus Station Kuala Lumpur

Discuss about the Travel to Christ Church Malacca from TBS Bus Station Kuala Lumpur.

The journey from Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) Bus Station, Kuala Lumpur to Christ Church, Malacca is approximately 135.8 Km. it takes approximately 3 hours by bus. The Terminal Bersepadu Selatan is the major long distance bus terminal in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Next to it is joined by the Bandar Tasik Selatan station which is a rail interchange station. The buses leave as from 2 pm in the afternoon up to 3pm.

At the TBS there is KFC restaurant which is a fast food chain known for its fried chicken, however, its level of cleanliness is very poor and therefore most travellers do opt for the luxurious Fuel Shack Restaurant which is some distance from the TBS. Fuel Shack is very hygienic even though the customer service is not up to standard and it has very small packing space as compared to KFC. On the way from the Bus station before exiting the car pack of the station are two more restaurants namely; Nasi Kandar TBS and Pak Hailam Kopitiam. The restaurants are hygienic with a safe car pack but the space is very small since it is right beside the road.

Outside the Bus park is the Taxi Service Point to the left. The road condition from the Bus Park up to the terminus that joins the Sungai Besi Expressway is good and has clear traffic lights and road signs that are clearly visible from far. The Sungai Besi  Expressway is roughly 28 Km long with three interchanges; the first being at the UPM interchange at which it joins the North-South Expressway, the SILK Highway and Jalan Serdang. Also, the exits are cleary numbered from South to North.

The second roundabout at the Sungai Besi Expressway at the junction from the Bus terminus exits and joins the Shah Alam Expressway. Along the Express high way there is a McDonald’s restaurant that offers fast foods, with ample packing and is clean. There is also the Seremban Mines Resort City that has ATMs, a petrol station and spacious packing space. Ahead of the Mines Resort is the point of exit which later joins the Kuala Lumpur–Seremban Expressway at the partial toll road. Along the exit route is the Soma tam & Tom Yam restaurant which is mainly offers Chinese food but with very small packing space and very few customers. Additionally, there is a fashion accessory store, Hany Fesyen just before the Chinese food restaurant.

Along the stretch of Kuala Lumpur–Seremban Expressway a major accident occurred where two male adults and one teenager were seriously injured when the car they were traveling in rammed into the dividing wall of the road at Km303.9. The two adults succumbed to the injuries while the teenager was rushed to Serdang hospital for treatment. The condition of the Expressway was above bar as there were no pot holes and the road signs were clearly visible from far for instance, the distance to Melaka, Seremban and Kuala Lumpur were clearly visible. Below the Expressway is the Sungai Kuyoh River which is clearly visible and its water is dirty.

The Kuala Lumpur–Seremban Expressway underpasses the Bukit Jail Highway at the Federal territory of Kuala Lumpur. The street lights of the Expressway are strategically positioned with clear road signs seen from a distance. Alongside the highway are pedestrian paths that are clearly marked with grown trees on either side. Immediately after the Bukit Jail Highway, there is the Home Goods Store to the left and Furniture Store adjacent to it. They are dimly visible for they are far from the Expressway. An immediate exit leads to Surau Stesen Shell Petrol station which has ample parking space and offers basic car services. Next to the petrol station is the Islam prayer house. A lot of bill boards are however noticeable along the stretch of the highway for instance the one opposite the Nouvelle Hotel. Petron Petrol station is next together with McDonald’s with limited parking space. The condition of the road to this point is upt to the standard of developed countries; with street lights evenly distributed in the middle of the road, and on the sidewalks, also the green trees planted along the road sides and the grass makes the road look beautiful.

At Seri Kembangan, Selangor there is KFC restaurant which is clean, affordable food but limited car pack. Next to KFC is the BHP petrol station with some small packing space. The petrol station also contains a restaurant. The North–South Expressway stretched for a number of kilometres with green grass and trees on either side. An apple shop is also on the sideways. Big street which overpasses the North-South Expressway is clear and installed with street lights. The highway that overpass at the RC Station Sdn Bhd is clear and even the advertisements and the lights on adverts are clearly seen. The road signs on the North–South Expressway are very clear, for example the sign that has Alice Smith School and Equine Park on it. However, the site near the sign where they sell construction materials is untidy and disorganized.  Perhaps the government should establish a proper site a little bit far from the Expressway so as to avoid the traffic caused by the trucks that turn at that exit. The BHP petrol station before Minton building is spacious and has car services facilities. After the BHP  petrol station is another one called Petronas which is equally clean and alongside there are Subway, KFC, Kenny rogers Poasters restaurants with ample parking space as well. All the restaurants are in one building and their hygiene is up to standard although they are quite expensive and small. I believe their capacity should be improved because they serve all the people travelling in the highway to avoid the congestion that I experienced.

Expressways from TBS Bus Station Kuala Lumpur to Christ Church Malacca

The South Klang Valley Expressway overpasses the North–South Expressway near The Grand Palace at Huazong. The South Klang Valley Expressway is equally clean from far with nice bill board advertisements on it. The overhead road signs near Dato’Mohamed Raja Residency are clear and visible from far. However, the North–South Expressway has not streetlights at this point and yet there are a lot of trees and even a nearby forest. Such a place ought to have some lighting so as to drive away darkness which may harbour criminals. The mosque near KLIA College is strategically located for the Muslims travelling on the highway and it has spacious parking. The underpass near the Langat River after D'rahmat Tom Yam has a lot of waste scattered along the roadside. The state should establish a dumpsite to correct this mess.

The construction site near the Mosque Al-azim is well located outside town and far from the main road. The underpass that serves as it exit and entrance is well maintained and helps to avoid traffic. The River Simin that passes below the  North–South Expressway is dirty and the state should renovate it so as to provide free water to the residents. The rest stop at Senawang South Bound is very tidy and has enough parking space with security guards both at the entrance and exit points. The adjacent R&R Senawang is also clean and has lots of car park spaces. However the it does not have much regarding to food varieties except for some few hawkers that sell fruit and a nearby shop that offers drinks. Two other more construction zones are situated some distance apart on the North–South Expressway. Their position is far from residential places and surrounded by forests and connected by underpasses which are not that well maintained. The ministry should always maintain standard feeder roads that connect to the construction zones for easy transportation of building materials.

River Rembau that passes below the North–South Expressway is a big river with moderately clean water. The North–South Expressway these points does not have lights except at stop overs and even billboards are few in number. However, road signs are strategically positioned at intervals with Forests being more pronounced on either sides of the road. The condition of Hemus Street that crosses the North–South Expressway is up to standard with clear road signs on the sideways of the Expressway. An R&R called Ayer Keroh which extends as a by-pass is indeed magnificent; it has a spacious parking lot, variety of meals and at affordable rates. On the same by-pass is KFC and Al-Ikhsan RnR which appear clean. The Malacca River is clearly visible from the Expressway with its rather clean water. Bill boards start to appear as we approach the state of Malacca.

The diversion from the Expressway to the Ayer Keroh town brings us to the  square toll which is marked out clearly and the workers there still offer assistance in case of inquiry. The clearly visible bill boards also welcome you to Malacca. Additionally, the Ayer Keroh gate is clearly market out and visible from far. The Melacca Townstay is right alongside the road offers a serene environment for accommodation with security and spacious car park. The facility has small shop outlets and nearby gas station. The road condition of Ayer Keroh highway is up to standard with street lighting and road signs and directions signs that clearly points out the respective state offices and other government ministries.

The Bendahara Street from the Ayer Keroh highway leads to the Christ church. This street has many places of accommodation and restaurants which are secure and spacious for instance the CIMB Preferred Kiosk, Hainamko Chicken Rice, Hotel Bendahara, Ibis Melacca, Saravama, Boss Curry House etc.  The Kaba Street diversion to the right from the Bendahara street leads to Christ Church Melacca
