About Express Bus
The Northern Gateway,
The Northern Gateway,
Carried by MARALINER
MARALINER Express is the long-distance coach arm of the business, shaped by decades of public transport service and a strong presence across Kedah, Perlis and the Malaysia-Thailand gateway.
As MARA marks its 60th anniversary, MARALINER Express carries the same legacy into intercity corridors, northern terminals and border-adjacent travel.

Northern Strength, National Reach
Our Express network is strongest across the northern gateway, where Perlis and Kedah connect into Klang Valley, the east coast and onward southern terminals.
