Terminal Amanjaya
My first visit to Terminal Amanjaya was about nine months ago. While some people had condemned this terminal as “yet another white elephant”, there’s no denying that it has its purpose, serving the community well in this area. Since its opening in October, 2012, until today, passengers here are given RM5 promotional voucher. For further information about this promotion, call 05-5267818.
During my visit yesterday, the terminal, although modern, spacious and comfortable, was pretty quiet. I actually like the environment because it lacks the chaos and confusion of a busy express bus terminal but it is just too far away from my home. If the express bus terminal in Medan Gopeng is replaced with Terminal Amanjaya, I would strongly oppose. Hehe!
Facilities and services at Terminal Amanjaya include:
*Hotel Transit, Rest & Go – rooms go from RM50 / night, or RM10 / hour.
*bathroom rental at RM6 per entry
*luggage storage at RM3 / entry / day
*laptop rental at RM5 per hour
*foot reflexology at RM25 / 30 minutes
*body massage at RM50 / 60 minutes

Travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh by express bus is only RM17.50 but by taxi from this bus terminal to Taman Cempaka and its surrounding areas is RM20 – RM30.
A frequent shuttle bus from this terminal to Ipoh city and surrounding areas will be most welcome as taking the taxi is expensive and is almost double the bus fare from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh.
It doesn’t make sense and not within the means of a bus passenger.
I also totally agree with Frequent Bus Commuter To Ipoh – it is too expensive and far from the main Ipoh city (New town and Old town).
Not everyone can afford to take a taxi at this expensive rate. They should introduce free shuttle bus or the economy city bus to other areas.
If this new & costly express bus terminal is under-utilized, it will be another waste of taxpayers’ money.
The government should have built such nice & modern building & facilities at the Medan Kidd and Medan Gopeng terminals.
the station has a PerakTransit, city bus platform. so people can take the bus for only RM 2 to medan kidd station.
I prefer taking buses from here than Medan Gopeng as it doesn’t take too long for the bus to get into the highway as it is closer to highway and less cars and traffic lights.
Why send the poor bus passengers to Medan Kidd, where they then have to take another bus to their desired destinations?
Stop the merry-go-round and bring us feeder buses that ply from all directions of Ipoh to Terminal Amanjaya.
The welfare and convenience of poor bus passengers must be taken into consideration.
I intend to drive to Amanjaya Bus Terminal and then take a bus to KL then fly to Singapore for a week.
Is it safe to park my car in the car park for one week? Any other facilities that can allow me to park my car there for so long. Please advise.
I have no idea whether it is safe, and I have not heard of any incident by travellers who parked their car there.
Hi, may I know bus no 66 ( ipoh to kampar ) can be taken at terminal amanjaya?

Hi Emily, do you familiar with Medan Kidd station? Is there any bus to teluk intan from Medan Kidd ?
Hi Joanne,
I believe there are buses to Teluk Intan from Medan Kidd, although I do not know the schedule, fare or frequency of the buses.
Hi Emily,

Hi, may I know bus no 66 ( ipoh to kampar ) can be taken at terminal amanjaya?
Emily, do you have the latest taxi rate with the increase of RM5 to RM10 since 22 Oct 2014?
Hi Pach,
Where would you like to go to? I’ll try to get the fare for you.
Hi emily~~ do you know how much is the taxi fare from Terminal Amanjaya to Ipoh Parade? Or is there any transportation besides taxi?
Hi Aya,
I’d suggest that you take the shuttle bus from Terminal Amanjaya to Medan Kidd first, and then take a taxi from Medan Kidd to Ipoh Parade.
Fare for the shuttle bus is about RM2 only. Taxi from Medan Kidd to Ipoh Parade is about RM10 or less.
Hi emily. Do you know how much is the taxi fare from gunung rapat to ipoh parade. Besides, is there any other transport besides taxi? Thank you
Haziqah,
Based on the taxi fare chart above, it should be about RM25 – RM30 (Pusat bandar).
Alternatively, you can take a shuttle bus to Medan Kidd (go to first floor of Terminal Amanjaya) and from Medan Kidd, take a bus or taxi to Ipoh Parade.
Hi Emily I am in Ipoh in early March is there anywhere I can hire a car many thanks
Hi emily!,
Thank you so much for such helpful post!!
However May I ask further question if you were able to answer?
I plan to take bus from Medan Kid bus station to Amanjaraya terminal which you said its operated by Perak transit which cost about 2.3 RM and interval of 15 mins. Do you know where we can get the ticket or wait for the bus in Medan Kidd Bus station (because you only mention it at Amanjaraya).
Another thing, you have mentioned about the taxi rates to other cities in Ipoh, if I were to go to Best Western Hotel which I understand that I should count it as a rate to Kg. Ulu Kinta? or Bercham( thought that this city is only a few walk to hotel). We are budget traveller so I want to get the lowest possible rate if you wonder. Also, is there a bus from Amanajaraya to Ulu Kinta or around that area? If there is, which number of bus should I take or is there a specific website that I could check out?
Thank you so so so much and hope for the reply so soon.
May
Hi Michael,
Sorry for the late reply. I was travelling and internet connectivity was poor.
I have this Ipoh Car Rental contact. Their mobile numbers are: +60125755975 and +601295790611.
I don’t vouch for them and I have not met them before but you could give them a call.
May,
I am not sure of the information you are seeking. On one hand, you say you are a budget traveller, but on the other you are planning to go to Best Western Hotel? You can check out my post on Best Western Hotel here to see if it suits your budget.
Emily,
I’m only gonna go there for the event held in that hotel.
Right now its okay I dont need to figure that out for now…
(:
but do you know when is the last bus for Perak transit from Terminal Amanjaya to Medan kidd?
and when all the domestic bus from Medan Kidd are off/stop running? when is the last buses?

Hi Tan Pau Sun,
Normally, tourists go to Genting Highlands via Kuala Lumpur.
However, I have just visited Terminal Amanjaya and found that it is possible to go to Genting Highlands from Ipoh.
The booth that sells the tickets is G12 Pacific Ekspress. Bus to Genting Highlands is at 10.30am daily. Fare is RM35 per person.
any bus from ipoh to jerantut?
Yes, Sheridazaid.
Tickets are sold at Terminal Amanjaya’s Counter A1.
The bus departs daily at 12.30am and arrives at Bandar Pusat Jenka at 8am. From there, take a town bus to Jerantut.
Fare is RM33 (adult) from Terminal Amanjaya to Bandar Pusat Jenka.

Hope this helps
Hi SoupScience!
Thank you very much for sharing this schedule. It’s very kind of you. I’m sure readers will find it useful.
Emily,
Just to check is medan kidd bus station the one near KTM station at Jalan Panglima Bukit Gantang? just opposite of POS laju ipoh?
Can i take bus from medan kidd to amanjaya? Is there any noon bus? as from your schedule only morning and evening bus. How much would it cost per trip?
Hi David,
Yes, the Medan Kidd Bus Station is just a short walk from the Ipoh Railway Station, near the roundabout.
Yes, you can take the bus from Medan Kidd to Terminal Amanjaya. The buses run daily from 6am to night time, at 15-minute intervals.
I am not sure where you referred to for morning/evening buses.
Fare is RM2.30 per adult, or thereabout.
Thanks for your info. I plan one day trip to ipoh this Friday (Hari Raya) and will go back at noon around 3pm, but not sure whether the bus operating hour will follow as usual or not (every 15-minute interval) during public holiday.
Do you have the medan kidd office contact?
Hi David,
You may contact the bus company’s hotline at 012-4500806 or email 0124500806hotline@gmail.com
Working hours is from 8am to 5pm daily.

Hi Emily,
I want to know How can I go to Amanjaya Terminal from Le Metrotel (Ipoh city) at 1.30 am. Because I have to go to Malacca but I not yet buy the ticket or I should be to change 9.30 am. It’ll better??
Hi Sirinda,
It’s better to go to the bus terminal in the morning to catch your bus to Malacca.
Otherwise, you have to pay a surcharge for taking the taxi after midnight.
Thx u Emily for your advise. I think I’ll buy round-trip ticket KL-Ipo-KL and change the bus to Malacca. ^v^
Hi Emily, just want to confirm if there is any express bus or coach from IPOH to Genting, and any phone number which I can call to book the ticket and check departure time. Plan to depart for Genting on 12 Nov 2015, Thursday.

thanks Emily
Hi Emily,
I read all the messages where ppl are asking for information, directions & etc. to their destinations and am really impressed that you are able to answer them.
I would also like to ask u since this will be my first time to Ipoh. What is the taxi fare from Terminal Amanjaya to Hotel Le Metrotel? Any other cheaper options & directions?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Tks!
Hi Shirley,
If you check my pricing above, it was RM20 to town (Pusat bandar), where Le Metrotel is located.
Since it has been some time already, you should add another RM5 – RM10 per car.
Fare will also depend on time such as peak and off-peak.
If you are in Ipoh before 1st March, you can use Uber too.
http://www.emily2u.com/uber-now-in-ipoh/
Hi emily. Is there any bus from amanjaya to stadium ipoh? How to get there? Any suggestion? thank you.
Hi Aby,
Arriving at Terminal Amanjaya, take the Medan Kidd shuttle and from there, take the City Bus Route: 113 or Route: 117.
Refer to this post:
http://www.emily2u.com/medan-kidd-perak-transit-buses-routes/
Hi Emily
Tks for your prompt reply! We are only going to Ipoh
on 1st April so unable to use the Uber service.

Shirley
Hi Emily,
Come across your website when searching for detail on Ipoh which my family will be visiting for first time. We will use Yo Yo bus (6 of us – 4 adults + 2 kids) from KLIA to Terminal Amanjaya. If we were to stay at Ibis Styles Hotel in ipoh, what is the best way to reach the hotel? Do we have to call for taxi or there is taxi stand to wait for taxi? How much roughly the taxi fare will be to the hotel.
Hope to hear from you soon and keep up the good work in maintaining your website active.
Rgs, Karl
Hi Karl,
The best way to reach Ibis Styles is by taxi.
For 6 pax plus luggage, you would probably require two taxis – as far as I know, all available taxis are saloon cars, rather than MPVs.
Check the fare listed above for “Pusat Bandar”…. since then, fares have gone up by RM5 to RM10 per car.
Fare will also depend on the time you arrive (peak/non-peak hours).
You can order your taxi at the terminal, although I am not sure if there is a dedicated counter. You can enquire at the “information counter” at the entrance of the building.
Hope this information helps.
Hi Emily,
Thank for the info, highly appreciate your input. Is there a number(s) I can call to order taxi.
Rgds, Karl
Hi Karl,
As mentioned earlier, there is no need to order a taxi. However, it would be good to keep this contact handy.
BK Radio Taxi: 05-2534188
Operating hours: 7.30am to 11.30pm daily
I live in Ulu Kinta / Tambun, an area where you don´t spot the famous 50plus years old “Omnibus” too often. They have no number and go from Tj. Rambutan to Ipoh Parade and also pass Medan Kidd. Roughly one every hour.
But there is something even more strange to spot on Jalan Tambun. But very rarely. It is a bus from Tj. Rambutan to Amanjaya! I promise it exists, maybe only a few times a day (or week, who knows). Also from the “Omnibus” company and also 50plus years old.
Hi! I am wondering do you know how to get to PTTC from Amanjaya Terminal. Are there buses available to get to PTTC? Thanks
Hi Jess,
Your best bet would be the taxi. Or perhaps Uber. Use my code EMILY2U to enjoy your first ride worth RM20 for free.
Bas transit perak dari terminal aman jaya ke teluk intan ada?
Hi Emily,
just want to know it is safe to park (leave) car at the aman jaya basement parking for about a week? and how about the parking rate?
appreciate your feedback.
thanks,
Hi Emily, I’m going to lost world next week, May I know any way to get to lost world rambun by public transport ? Much appreciate
Hi Wilson,
As far as I am aware, Ipoh Omnibus serves the Tanjung Rambutan route which passes by Tambun.
First bus leaves Medan Kidd at 6.45am. Last bus leaves Medan Kidd at 9.15pm.
Last bus leaves Tanjung Ramnbutan at 8.10pm.
Total three buses ply this route a day.
Lost World of Tambun is before Tanjung Rambutan stop.
For your information, Medan Kidd is another bus terminal and not the same as Terminal Amanjaya. You have to take the shuttle bus from Terminal Amanjaya to Medan Kidd.
For further reading: http://www.emily2u.com/medan-kidd-perak-transit-buses-routes/
In my opinion, your best bet would be to take a taxi.
Hi Emily, i want to know whether grab car operates in

Hi Emily ,
I plan to go to Taiping during hari raya , but my ETS ticket will only reach Ipoh , may I know the cheaper way for me to get to Terminal Amanjaya so that I can take the blue omnibus to Ipoh . How far is the ktm station to Terminal Amanjaya ? And if the only way is taking taxi , how much does it cost ? Also wish to ask about the schedule of the bus to taiping , because this is my first time going to taiping . Hope for ur reply . Thank you so much 🙂
Hi Tan,
The best way is of course to take the train to Taiping.
For your situation, from KTM Ipoh, walk to Medan Kidd.
Directions: Come out from KTM station and head to Pos Malaysia. Turn right and walk to the end of the road to arrive at Medan Kidd.
There are express buses to Taiping from there as you can see from this post:
http://www.emily2u.com/medan-kidd-perak-transit-buses-routes/
As for the schedule and fare, call Perak Transit Hotline at 012-4500556.

Hi Emily,
I just wanna know if there is any bus from medan kidd to Jalan Greentown, Ipoh since im going to Unikl rcmp in Jalan Greentown. Perhaps if there isnt any bus, what is the estimated fare from medan kidd to jalan greentown via taxi? Thankyou so muchh
Hi Amy,
Please refer to this post:
http://www.emily2u.com/medan-kidd-perak-transit-buses-routes/
I figured that you could take these buses to go to UniKL RCMP.
The key stops would be Ashby Road or Greentown Mall. It is the a short walk to campus.
Route: 113 (Ipoh Garden)
Ashby Flats
Route 114: (Ampang)
Ashby Road
Route: 116 (Terminal Amanjaya)
Greentown Mall
For further information, call the Perak Transit Hotline at 012-4500556.
Hi Emily

Disclaimer: I have never taken his taxi before.

Hi Emily
Can I check with you is there any bus from amanjaya to Sungai Siput ? if have what is the timing, thanks a lot.
LJ,
I am not sure about Sungai Siput. Perhaps you need to go to Medan Kidd for Perak Transit’s Route: 70 (Kampar – Sahom).
There are shuttle buses from Terminal Amanjaya to Medan Kidd.
I intend to drive to Amanjaya Bus Terminal and then take a bus to KL then fly to Singapore for few day. Is it safe to park my car in the car park for few day? Any other facilities that can allow me to park my car there for so long. Please advise.
A very good morning to you, dear Emily.
Greetings from Hong Kong! Hope you had a nice weekend, wish you a great week ahead, and Happy Monday.
I’m planning a trip to Malaysia this coming month with my mother, comprising a two-night stay in Ipoh before we spend another four in KL.
As I’m googling about Ipoh’s commute to and from KL, accommodation, culinary not-to-misses and historic must-sees, being part of my trip-planning research, your blog is so high up among the search results that I felt compelled to at least get in and take a quick glance. It turns out that I’m still ploughing through your database – the term “blog” understated your writing’s value, utility and influence – and I’m even reaching out to you directly now!
My heartfelt congratulations on your most recent receipt of recognition of, and commendation on, your contribution to not just your hometown, but your homeland, as well as the promotion of cultural exchange by helping visitors navigate the city and appreciate its heritage and custom. What most impressed me is the breadth and depth of your database’s coverage, and more important, frankness and down-to-earth style as a humble and practical reflection of local, everyday life, which in turn reinforced its credibility and relevance.
Enough said – all straight from the gut though, I’ll now start bombarding you with some thoughts and questions of mine upon consultation of your database that I’ll be thankful for your advice on:
1. KL-Ipoh commute
1.1 Mode of transportation
I’ll probably take the shuttle from KLIA to Ipoh direct so as to defer vehicle-switching till after reaching Ipoh and as the KLIA Ekspres/Transit-KTM combination seems much costlier?
1.2 Bus operator
Apart from Yoyo and Star Shuttle that you mentioned, I saw Starmart Express whose fare is the lowest among all three – is it equally safe and reputable per your understanding?
1.3 Ticketing agent
I have so far come across easybook, redbus, busonlineticket, catchthatbus and myexpressbus, apart from the bus operators’ own website. (Starmart doesn’t seem to maintain its own) – which ones of them are credible and secure to place advanced booking as early as now?
2. Ipoh accommodation and intra-city commute
2.1 Choice of hotel
I’ll go for Cititel due to its proximity to major attractions and overall accessibility on foot to the old town area. Or should French Hotel be the better option as its comments are largely that it’s very close to the famous eateries around the old town area?
2.2 Amanjaya-downtown commute
If you agree Cititel is a suitable pick, is it right that we take 116 Perak bus from Amanjaya and get off at the Medan Kidd station? Or would Kompleks Yik Foong be the closer one?
3. Ipoh-KL commute
3.1 Mode of transportation
Assuming we stay at Cititel, due to its closeness to the rail station and relative fare (train vs. shuttle), I’m planning to ride on ETS to KL Sentral and then transit to the hotel in the capital city?
3.2 Ticketing
Assuming ETS makes sense to you, I can place an advanced booking for the train tickets ahead of time at the KTMB online ticketing site?
Sorry for the long-winding passage above and multiple-pronged questions, and thank you in advance, Emily, for your generous time and helpful remarks and instructions.
Best regards,
Derek
Dear Derek,
Thank you for your well wishes.
First of all, before replying to your multiple questions, I would like to advise you, as a traveller, to opt for something that is the most convenient, rather than the cheapest. Thus, my reply to you is not based on price but rather what I would personally take.
1. Bus shuttle is the best option. As for operator, I have only taken Yoyo and Star Shuttle but not Star Mart. Which service I opted for depended on the time I had to reach my destination. Of course, you have to allow for time to collect your luggage, washroom break, refreshment, etc. I cannot comment on the safety aspect of any company because I believe that they strive to provide to the best of their ability, but as you know, accidents do happen.
When it comes to buying tickets, I would buy directly from the company. However, I would like to state that I have not used their online ticketing service before and have only purchased my tickets at the counter.

2. Between Citidel and French Hotel, I would choose Citidel for its proximity to Ipoh Old Town and its attractions. Do also research on Le Metrotel Hotel. It is strategically located between Ipoh Old Town and New Town. Obviously, there are other accommodations as well but these three are approximately of the same class.

As for commute from Terminal Amanjaya, take the shuttle bus to Medan Kidd, then a taxi to your hotel. We do have ride hailing apps such as Uber, Grab and EZCab. Sometimes they give out discount codes. If you have not used these apps before, I have a promotional code for Uber which gives you RM3 off your first ride. If you need it, drop me a note.
3. Ipoh-KL commute
From Ipoh to KL, take the ETS. This is the official train website where you can buy your tickets. This is also where you can check schedule and fares.

Have your ticket(s) printed out at the hotel or at the train station before boarding your train. Allow for time to queue up at the counter.
OR save your ticket(s) to your phone in PDF format. Only PDF is accepted.
Hope I have answered your questions fully. Feel free to ask if you need more information.
Regards,
Emily
