if this a normal problem for taking bus ?
My actual experience -
EASYBOOK is reliable. But only Sri Maju and Konsortium available. KKKL book at Golden Mile personally. There are 2 agencies there; 1 is Coachland, the other I forget the name (Chinese name, small counter.) call to reserve first but must check-in 2 hours ahead. No need book return trip. 4 times I book Sri Maju with Davis Tour on day before trip no problem.
Yes, KKKL leaves 6:00pm; Sri Maju 7:00pm and Konsortium leaves 8:30pm from Golden Theatre.
Actual time of arrival at Hatyai depends Heng-Suay or not. Because the route is never fixed. Coach may detour to JB or KL or Alor Star to drop-off or pick-up new passengers. Sri Maju often reliable to reach between 8:30 and 9:30am but 1 time I took it actually made all 3 stops and also a brief stop at Duty Free Shop, arriving Hatyai 11:00am! KKKL drivers seem rather impatient lot. Made me quite worry about safety.
