By bus

Many long-distance express buses connect destinations in Malacca state with Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and other cities in Peninsular Malaysia.

Most companies operate from Malacca City's Melaka Sentral bus terminal. However, some companies also run buses from other towns in the state such as Alor Gajah, Masjid Tanah, Jasin and the A'Famosa Resort.

• Transnasional (http://www.transnasional.com.my/transportation_overview.asp) is the largest long-distance bus operator in Malaysia. It links the state with a host of destinations in Peninsular Malaysia like Kuala Lumpur, Seremban, Singapore and further afield. Transnasional buses depart from Malacca City (Melaka Sentral), Alor Gajah, A'Famosa Resort and Masjid Tanah.
