Melaka Sentral is the largest public bus terminal in Melaka, serving as the primary hub for both domestic and intercity express bus services. Opened on 14 May 2004, the terminal was built on 46.6 hectares of land and designed with elements inspired by traditional Melaka Malay houses and the structural design of KLIA. It is located on the outskirts of Melaka city, a short drive from the historic core.
The terminal features ten centralised ticketing counters and twenty ticket vending machines for interstate buses, along with ATMs from multiple banks, a money exchange counter, locker facilities, a prayer room, and a post office. A bazaar area houses more than fifty tenants including food courts, restaurants, and grocery stores. Bus operators such as S&S International, City Express, Causeway Link, and Mayang Sari operate from here, connecting Melaka to Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, and other major destinations.
The terminal is fully air-conditioned and provides 24-hour security for its parking area. Online ticket booking is available through the Melaka Sentral website. Key tourist attractions including Jonker Street and Dutch Square are approximately four kilometres away. Taxis and ride-hailing services are readily available outside the terminal.

We chose Melor Interline for our trip from Melaka to Kuala Lumpur and had a great experience. The bus was very clean, with spacious, comfortable seats. It was fully air-conditioned and even had safety belts and window curtains, which made the journey pleasant. At only 12 RM per seat, it was significantly cheaper than taking a taxi. A helpful tip: remember to buy your drinks and snacks before going through the security gates, as there are no vending machines or shops on the other side. Also, note that consuming prepared meals is not allowed on the bus. Overall, it was a much better and more comfortable experience than we anticipated. Highly recommended for a budget-friendly and reliable transfer!

We had an amazing experience at the counter in Malacca Sentral today. We arrived very late for our bus, with only a few minutes to spare, and suddenly discovered that our online tickets needed to be printed something we had no idea about. …

Need booking online and go to counter tickets to get physical tickets (cash only). The announcer's voice is very unprofessional, he just talks like he's angry. The aircon isn't very strong, I can't feel the chilled.
