Ticket Touts

If you are buying a coach ticket for inter-city travel at any transport terminal, you will be approached by touts selling coach/bus tickets... They will way lay you on your way to the ticket counters... and they are very persistent, and sometimes agressive... Touts are most active when the normal ticket counters of the various coach companies are closed for business for the day... This is usually during the later part of the night... Tourists, who are usually hard press for time, will try to buy tickets at night for the next morning departures... This is when they are most venerable to these touts... Tickets bought thru touts are usually forged and the coach companies will not accept them... The major coach transport companies issue computerised tickets while a tout will just sell paper tickets...

Fun Alternatives: To avoid being cheated, customers are advised to buy tickets only at the companies' ticket counters... Don't try to save time and ensure that you get a ticket by buying the previous night (from touts) for morning departures... Tickets of major coach companies are also sold at selected Petronas petrol stations...
