The Odyssey journey

Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia, has always been the centre of trade and commerce for Malaysians for as long as I can remember (ofcourse this is not withstanding the days of Malacca in the 1400s and 1500s and the Straits Settlements). It's strategic location being at the mid point of the Malaysian Peninsular, it's proximity to the Straits of Malacca, having Klang as a feeder port, KLIA, the North-South highway, have all helped solidify Kuala Lumpur's status as the nation's key business hub.

The highways and byways that connect KL to cities like Ipoh, George Town, Alor Star and Kangar in the North, Kuantan, Kuala Terengganu and Kota Baharu in the East and Seremban, Malacca, Johor Bahru and even Singapore in the South have all eased and facilitated business transactions between these cities.

It is with this thought in mind that we have embarked on this journey to launch Odyssey, the First Truly Business Class Coach between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

We say that our service is the First Truly Business Class Coach service because we not only provide spacious seating area, we also offer video-on-demand services on each seat. We are the first bus to offer wifi services on board.

Luxury

There's always plenty of room to stretch out and lie back in the tranquillity of an Odyssey coach. Our leather recliner is the perfect place to catch a refreshing power nap or even curl up to watch your favourite movie. In fact the luxury treatment begins even before you step on board, as you get to relax in the plush waiting lounge specially designed for your comfort.

Meals

Enjoy our special gourmet meals that are served by our specially trained attendants who are always at your service to make your journey as pleasant as possible.

Please note that all meals served will be non-vegetarian unless specified otherwise during booking. All meals served are Halal.

Connectivity

All Odyssey coaches are WiFi enabled with speed up to 3.6Mbps so you can carry on your business uninterrupted while on board*. This service is provided free. Moreover, we have sturdy tables that can support your laptop and also power points to recharge them with.

*To use the service you will need a wireless enabled laptop or hand held device and the speed of service is on a best-effort basis.

Entertainment

Spend quality leisure time on the Odyssey while you watch movies of your choice or the news on your personal TV screen. Or even surf the net on the move. And while our trained attendants serve you gourmet meals right as you relax in your leather recliner, there's a good chance you'll feel you have been thoroughly spoilt by the end of the trip.

Inspections and Servicing

Being a Business Class coach service is not just about the comfort and luxury of leather recliners and gourmet meals. Safety is of prime importance to us. And you can be sure we will take care of your safety while on board any of our coaches.

All our coaches are regularly serviced to ensure the comfort and safety of our passengers, captains and onboard attendants.

Human Factors Integration

Our captains are well trained individuals and have been armed with all the features to aid them in driving safely. All our coaches offer better visibility, improved handling and braking with enhancements like EBS, Scania Retarder and Scania Opticruise.

Our onboard crew is also trained for emergency situations and first-aid. You can be sure you are in very good hands when you are traveling with us.

Mechanical Integrity

Apart from the basic safety measures like seatbelts, safety hammers and fire prevention and protection, all Odyssey coaches are equipped for balance and safety in every way.

Our coaches have a robust chassis that ensures a safe and comfortable passenger car-like feel. The independent front suspension provides safe and predictable handling on the open highway.

Whilst even the driving station is ergonomically designed. It is integrally a safe and steady machine.

Speed Regulation

Our coaches are equipped with an Opticruise function that automates shifting to settings like Drive, Hill and Reverse. While the Retarder controls progress on steep descents handled with fingertip control from the steering wheel. The Clutch Monitoring System, the powerful disc brakes which provide shorter braking distances and the ESP ensure full control over power delivery, particularly in slippery conditions and during manoeuvring - for the safety of the passengers.
