General Website & Transaction FAQ

Q1 : What's all the fuss about plusliner.com? What's are the benefits offered to people from the public like myself?
A1 : Previously unavailable before from any of the express coach service providers throughout Malaysia, plusliner.com offers the public real-time information on seat availability. Traditionally, passengers would have to visit the sales counters twice, firstly to purchase a ticket a few days or even weeks before departure, and secondly on the date of departure itself. With plusliner.com, you only need to visit us once - which is on the date of departure. Furthermore, plusliner.com offers a membership Loyalty Programme which rewards passengers with attractive discounts and coming soon - other gifts for redemption. 
Q2 : How can I pay for my tickets?
A2 : We currently only offer payments via Maybank2u.com, Maybank Phone Banking, and by direct payments at Maybank branches. However, this is limited within Malaysia only. Other modes of payment, covering a wider range of countries - may be extended in due time.
Q3 : Why do you impose a 10-day minimum period for purchase/reservation of online tickets?
A3 : The 10-day minimum period is imposed to allow us to release your seat early should you fail to make prompt payment, or decide that you do not wish to proceed with your journey. This will provide us with ample time to offer those seats to other customers who wish to confirm their journey instead.
Q4 : What happens if my computer hangs in the middle of a transaction? How can I check and see if my reservation is completed?
A4 : If your computer hangs or you are abruptly disconnected from the Internet, once you get back online, try logging-in to the Members Page and see if there is a pending transaction. Check it thoroughly, and if the details are correct, then your transaction has been captured by our system. If this is still unresolved, you may contact our technical support helpdesk through email.
Q5 : How is it ensured that nobody else can purchase or reserve the same seat as mine?
A5 : Plusliner.com's web transactions were carefully designed to work in tandem with our application running at the sales counters. Each reservation made through this website is also viewable by our sales counters, and treated just like a transaction made at the counter. However, to ensure your seat isn't given up, please clear payment for your transaction promptly. A diagram of the system overview is presented below.

Q6 : Why only 5 seats per trip for web-based transactions?
A6 : We have set a maximum of only 5 seats per trip for the web, in anticipation of minimal response from the public to purchase and reserve from the Internet. However, this limitation can be lifted almost instantaneously once the demand for web-based transactions increases.
Q7 : Why is it that sometimes I get a message stating "Server Unreachable" or something to that effect?
A7 : As described in the diagram above, this website works in tandem with our sales counters. Whenever there is a line failure between any of our counters and our servers - the website will automatically return the "Server Unreachable" message. This is to ensure that there are no conflicts between web and sales counter transactions (priority here is given to the sales counters). This error message should not appear anymore once the link is up and running again. You will then be presented with the accurate availability of seats for the trip that you select.
Q8 : Must I have a Maybank account to make payments for reservations through the web?
A8 : No. You can make payment for your reservation at any nearest Maybank branch (within Malaysia only).
Q9 : I am not too comfortable with making payments for my web reservations through Maybank2u.com or even banking in such payments at Maybank branch outlets. Can I make payments at your sales counters instead?
A9 : Since quite a number of customers have been asking for this option, we are currently working it. We'll update you once it's ready.

Loyalty Programme FAQ

Q1 : Can you please explain the reward points system and how it works?
A1 : It's pretty simple and straightforward really. Each Ringgit Malaysia (RM) or Singapore Dollar (S$) you spend either through this website or from the sales counters - you will earn loyalty reward points. These points are then deducted from your total accumulated points when you redeem them for free tickets or special gifts that are on offer if they are available. For details on the points ratio, visit our Loyalty Programme page.
Q2 : What can I redeem my reward points for?
A2 : At the moment, we're offering probably the best and most practical reward available - free tickets! In the future, we may extend this to other gifts and prizes. We'll let you know if and once this takes place.
Q3 : Can I directly utilize my points as "payment" for a free ticket?
A3 : Unfortunately not. For control purposes, you will need to redeem your points for "Travel Vouchers" first. This can be done at our sales counters. Simply approach our Customer Service Assistants with your Membership Card. They'll do the rest.
Q4 : Is your Loyalty Programme linked with other programmes available in the market?
A4 : Not at the moment. However, we are open for discussion with other providers and programme organizers who would like to tie-up with us.

System FAQ

Q1 : Who developed the Plusliner Online Ticketing System for Plusliner Sdn. Bhd.?
A1 : The Plusliner Online Ticketing System - both implemented at the sales counters, and what you are using now (this website) - was developed in-house by our very own Systems Engineering Unit. This grants us great flexibility in making enhancements as and when required.
Q2 : Can your system be applied to other bus operators as well?
A2 : The Plusliner Online Ticketing was designed specifically to suit the operational requirements of Plusliner Sdn. Bhd., for Plusliner and NiCE express coach services. It is therefore not a "generic" ticketing system that can be applied directly to other operators, of which their operational requirements may be very different from ours. In short, "no". This can only be achieved through customization, which are gladly willing to discuss with other operators and service providers.
Q3 : Will you be extending plusliner.com to mobile devices i.e. WAP?
A3 : We have considered this option during the early stages of software development, however have put this on hold for the time being until we see a substantial demand for it from the public.
