-------------------------------------------------------
Q: Arriving from airport or going to airport
A: If you plan to catch a bus right after landing, please check to see if you have at least 3 hour minimum gap between landing time and bus departure because you will have to go through immigration and wait your luggage, then there is about more than 30 minutes drive to bus station with normal traffic. The suggestion is to have about 4 hours gap. Have the departing bus station phone number in hand to check with the bus station. (email staff don't have up to date information about the departing buses). The bus will leave on time.
We don't recommend you to catch the morning flight right after leaving the night bus. E.g. please don't plan to catch 9:00 am flight riding our night bus arriving 7:00am. Our buses arrive 99.99% on time but there are things that are not in our control e.g. flood and unforeseen traffic. Please give yourself a day or 12 hours; and enjoy the last moment in Myanmar outside the enclosure of the bus and the plane.
Q: How are the JJ Express Buses?
A: Our buses are properly maintained with certified engineers and we introduce brand new buses every year.
