All bus departed from Tapah Bus Station, located in the heart of Tapah Town.
This journey took about 1 hour 40 minutes using powerful Mercedez Benz bus. Beautiful scenery of forest, native village & tea farm that can be expecting along the journey. The route is narrow and plenty sharp bend along the way . The bus driver seem competent & really familiar with the route.
Tanah Rata - Kuala Lumpur (via Sg Koyan-Raub) - Express
This service is alternative to other express bus that operate Express service between Cameron to KL.
The company that provide this service is Pahang Lin Siong Motor Co Berhad.
This economy service (seating 2+2) 40 pax/bus is cheaper compare to other bus express which is offer VIP service (combination 2+1 seating) 30 pax/bus. The fare is MYR 22.40 while other express company will charge MYR 30.00 . Other bus company using old route to Tapah before took PLUS Expressway to Kuala Lumpur.
Pahang Lin Siong's bus is using new route,(Ringlet-Pos Betau-Sg Koyan) passing native village at Pos Betau before arriving Sg Koyan. Sg Koyan is a Felda's settlement and palm oil plantation is major activity there. Total time taken to arrive KL by this bus is 4 hours. The bus will stop at Sg Koyan & Raub to pick up another passengers before heading to Kuala Lumpur. At Kuala Lumpur, this bus will called Hentian Pekeliling instead of Puduraya which is called by another bus operator from Cameron.
This service offered once a day at 2.00 pm from Tanah Rata.
