FAQs

How can I book a Bintang Timur bus ticket?

You can visit the Bintang Timur ticket counter located at the bus terminal nearest to you. An even simpler booking solution has been provided by redBus, Indonesia. The user-friendly website offers a simpler way to book your bus tickets online.

How much does a bus ticket on a Bintang Timur bus cost?

Ticket fares will vary depending on the pick-up and drop off points. You can visit redbus.id/en to help you stay updated on bus fares, availability, and much more. The payment platform on the redBus website ensures that every transaction made on the site is protected.

Do I need to print my bus ticket to board the bus?

There are two main scenarios that you might fall into when you have to board a bus. Now, if your boarding point is at any terminal in Indonesia, passengers will have to take a print out of the bus ticket that has been sent to the email in a PDF format. The second scenario is when your boarding point is a bus stop and not a terminal. In this case, you will receive an M-ticket that you will have to produce before boarding your bus. If the operator does not provide an M-Ticket, you will have to take a printout of the ticket (PDF) that has been sent to the registered email ID that you have used to book the bus ticket on the redBus website. Some operators might levy a charge if these conditions are not followed.

Should I book my bus ticket at the counter or on the redBus platform?

That depends on what works best for you. You could book a ticket at the counter but you might be too late to book a comfortable window seat or risk being too late to book any seat at all. A lot of people are recognizing the benefits of booking a bus ticket on an online platform like redBus. It’s easy, convenient, and leaves you having all your questions answered by just browsing the website.

Bus terlambat datang sekitar 30 menit dari jadwal yang seharusnya.

Kami ditipu untuk turun dari bus lebih awal agar mereka bisa mengenakan biaya tambahan untuk taksi.

Perjalanan terasa nyaman tanpa kendala. Penumpang dibangunkan pada waktu shalat dan sahur, pelayanan sangat ramah.

Alhamdulillah perjalanan berjalan lancar dan terasa menyenangkan.

Waktu tempuh sangat lama, seharusnya tiba di Rantepao pukul 4.30 WITA namun baru sampai pukul 7.00. Akibatnya hanya bisa turun di pinggir jalan, bukan di perwakilan resmi. Namun secara keseluruhan perjalanan nyaman, bus bagus, kru ramah, dan pelayanan sangat berarti terutama karena membawa anak-anak.

Kenek perlu dilatih agar lebih baik dalam melayani penumpang, bukan menyuruh penumpang cepat sampai, bus berangkat lebih awal sebelum jadwal, dan mereka meminta saya cepat sampai padahal kondisi Makassar macet.

Diharapkan tidak ada lagi penumpang yang tidur di lorong bus karena mengganggu kenyamanan penumpang.

Sangat memuaskan karena dapat melakukan perpanjangan hotel apabila menggunakan armada bus ini. Setelah checkout, penumpang tetap bisa sampai tujuan dengan dijemput oleh bus.

Sudah baik, tetapi tolong sopir jangan menelepon saat membawa bus. Hampir gagal mendaki karena sopir sibuk menelepon dan hanya menggunakan satu tangan saat mengganti gigi di tikungan.
