Express bus are considered as one of main transportation in Malaysia, as they connect most of the states throughout Malaysia. Once the express buses were using economy seating in 2+2 configuration, this configuration were slowly disappear due to faster journeys with the introduction of the highways, thus able to distribute passengers and reduce number of passengers board the bus. As such, the business class of 2+1 configuration were widely used throughout Malaysia for comfortable long-haul journeys.
This economy seats were still used until today for short to mid-haul journeys, however with the increasing price of the business class seats for long-haul journeys, the economy seats are much needed for long-haul journeys. As such, some bus operators has re-introduced a limited number of trips for long-haul economy seats. One of the bus operators are Ekspres Musafir under Konsortium Ekspres Mutiara Berhad, where their bus holds the record of the longest travelling bus for high-capacity economy express, as this bus offers a number of 58 seats in 2+2 configuration for over 600km journey. While the bus service offers only 35% of discount than any business class seats, prices can be differ depending on peak and festive seasons.
