MCKK is blessed with a bus station merely a few hundred meters from the school with the traditional train station slightly further away to the west. However, with the bus routes along north-south highway and drivers much more eager to make the journey shorter than the parents, in less than three hours the boys can be back to Kuala Lumpur Duta station...! The bus journey is safe, convenient and definitely value for money considering the highway tolls, petrol and meals to spend when travelling return to Kuala Kangsar.

However, tickets can only be bought slightly over two weeks ahead whilst the online service can only be said as a mischievous attempt to show internet savvy, but far from being a service. Best to avoid it completely so as not to get heartache or heartburn to whatever ailments most parents at their age will have with teenage sons...!

Nonetheless, after a year of bus subscription of more than 6 times from Duta to Kuala Kangsar the delays had been not more than slight inconveniences, but more importantly incident free thus far.

Only setback for the boys, sometimes when they reached Kuala Kangsar bus station with their home treasures in bags, sacks, trolleys or even boxes - they have to drudgingly drag their loots a few hundred meters along the uneven footpaths to their hostels. Then again they are boys - that should be really character-building moments for them.
