The world is very weird.
Some things that are so common for certain people, might be very new to the others. I've a colleague who travels frequently between Singapore and KL, but I've not been to Singapore since my last visit when I was 12 years old.
Meaning, I've not been to the country for 10+ years, but it's still not long compared to my last visit to Genting Highlands. I last visited Genting Highlands when I was 10 years old.
Therefore, I planned to travel back to Malaysia by bus from Singapore, as an end of my 2008 year end backpack trip. I heard about Aeroline bus for quite some time but I had no chance to try it. If my memory serves me right, the bus services in Malaysia are bad. You can't book ticket from both counter or via online system, the buses tend to be late and problematic etc.
Only the Greyhound coach in Australia gave me a good feeling. When I planned my trip, everything could be settled online. The service is available throughout the entire country, we could check online, book online, pay online.
I did not even have to step out of my room!! In addition, when the journey starts, the driver would greet and talk to you for awhile via microphone. Their professionalism makes you feel secured. Most importantly, the seats are comfortable. Also, students are entitled to concession price.
For the very first time, I could feel that there is improvement in the local bus services... from Aeroline.
I logged on to their website, checked the timetable and availability, paid online, and a confirmation email was sent to my mailbox.
Share with you my only ONE experience with Aeroline.
I think I was sleeping on the bus most of the time, till I reached Sunway. I remembered I was a little sad for having to finish the enjoyable backpacking trip, and back to real working life again.
Forgot to mention, the bus was not late.

The Convenient Way To FLY
Share with you my only ONE experience with Aeroline.
I sat on the left side by myself. The right side can cater for 2 people. 
My seat number, 5A. 
Spacious seats. 
TV is available, movie as well, of course... 
Simple meal and water were served. 
Sorry for the reflection. I was not hungry so didn't wish to open it yet. However, the food could be healthier. These are all fried stuff. 
These nice croissants were bought from Provence Bakery, not from Aeroline :)

We normally have behavior of ignore those that near by. I also never visit Cameron highland before :P
Seem like ur focus during the trip is only within the bus and not the scene along the way?
TT, I visited Cameron Highlands many times already... if there are some others who never and wish to go, maybe we can make a trip. I can settle accommodation part.
yea, this bus trip focused on the bus service, instead of the scene along the way (I slept almost all the way).
