Singapore Bus Terminals

Golden Mile Complex

The Golden Mile Complex, also informally known as Golden Mile Centre, is the major pick-up point for long-distance bus or coach trips to Malaysia.

It is located at Beach Road, Kallang, near a strip of land called Golden Mile in Singapore. Golden Mile Food Centre is opposite and you can walk there via the overhead bridge in 5-7 minutes. The nearest MRT station is Lavendar, which is a bit away and thus we recommend to take a taxi.

Grassland Express, Kwang Chow Travel and StarMart Express Air Asia Liners are coach agencies at Golden Mile Complex in Singapore.

These company mainly travel to Kuala Lumpur (average $30 trip), Malacca ($50), Penang  ($45) and Ipoh ($40). The prices are competitive, and you should check several companies first before purchasing your ticket.

Getting to the Bus Terminals

While all these Singapore bus terminals are located close to the central area, getting to them via bus or walking may be challenging if you are unfamiliar with the roads.

The easiest way to get to the terminals is to take the train to the nearest MRT station, and take a cab from there - especially for Golden Mile. Taxis should not cost more than $6 for the short ride.
