Tune Hotel Kuching Airport Shuttle Service Sucks

Tune Hotel Kuching website claims there is an airport shuttle service from the airport to the hotel. However reality tells another story.

Here is the timetable of the shuttle service listed at their counter at the airport.
Kuching Airport - Tune Hotel Shuttle Service

In reality, I couldn’t get any shuttle service for the whole day.

I arrived at Kuching airport before 9am.

Golden System Car Rental & Tour S/B, which is the company that offers the shuttle service, refused to run as the timetable shows because they require at least 2 paid passengers to run the service.

Fair enough, I decided to wait for other passengers to come and share the van.

After 11am, the airport became busy. However, the shuttle counter was closed and of course I had no chance to find other passengers to use their service.

When the staff finally came back, I told the guy behind counter that I’d like to pay the price of 2 people. He said OK, board the 3pm shuttle. I got back before 3 o’clock. The staff told me there was no shuttle at 3pm, I would have to wait until 5pm. When I got there at 4:40pm. The staff told me the shuttle had left at 4:30pm. He told me to wait for the 6pm shuttle and pay 20 RM.

In the end, I took a taxi which cost me 26 RM.

Kek Lok Si, Penang, Malaysia

槟城的极乐寺据说是东南亚规模最大的寺庙,始建于1893年,从寺中康有为、光绪皇帝、慈禧太后等人的题字不难证实历史确实悠久。得益于当地华人的捐献,寺庙依然在不停修建中,包括山顶的观音殿。极乐寺的观音殿缆车和万佛塔需要买门票,其余部分则免费开放参观。每年农历新年期间的万佛灯会场面最是宏大,亮灯长达一个月(农历正月)。

极乐寺山脚下有好多路公交车,比如502路,还有102路也到附近。槟城公交车攻略见此。从光大过去,票价2马币。(2013年1月)
