Let’s review the suite class from PO Kalingga Jaya, a new sleeper player of Muria Raya. We recently tried it from Semarang in Jakarta.
So, in recent years, we have taken various types of buses, from executive class, to presidential class, to suite class. One could say that the latter is the best.
However, suite class service sleeper bus by PO Kalingga Jaya is not without fault.
Here is our review of the A2 fleet named Athariz:

1. Punctuality
PO Kalingga Jaya starts from Jepara. As there are no toll roads yet in this area, our pickup in Semarang was delayed, perhaps in part due to the rain that had been pouring since the afternoon.
The departure time which should have been 20.00 WIB was delayed until 21.00 WIB. Of course this delay needs to be properly addressed by the company and the passengers so they don’t get too worried.
2. I wait in the bus
The Kalingga Jaya PO class suite uses a body from Adiputro, namely the Jetbus 3+ MHD Dream Coach. The chassis itself is from Mercedes-Benz.
PO Kalingga Jaya suite class seats are stacked up and down. In a bus body there are 22 seats equipped with various private facilities.

3. While travelling
PO Kalingga Jaya’s classy suite service is really not canned. Even though it looks like a hotel cabin, when you climb into the sleeper chair, a traveler is sure to feel at ease.
Because there are various services in the cabin. First, at first glance, the cleanliness of the classy suite at PO Kalingga Jaya seems to be well maintained.
Passengers entering must remove their shoes and place them on the shelf below. There is a partition between the passenger and driver’s cabins which prevents cigarette smoke from mixing inside.
Outside the PO class suite cabin Kalingga Jaya, there are handkerchiefs on every door. Even the aisle lights have been dimmed for passenger comfort, like on an airplane.
Inside the cabin are a myriad of personal amenities for a traveler to experience. There are reading lamps and private cabin lights, push button adjustable sleeper chairs, TV screens, blankets, pillows and holes for drinking water.

Not only that, there is also a seat vibration button which is of no use at all because the bus will definitely vibrate from when you start the engine. There are seat belts which most of the buses don’t provide and another thing are four USB A sockets to charge cellphones.
For those of us whose height is around 170cm, the seats in the classy sleeper suite at PO Kalingga Jaya feel very relieved. Unfortunately, the chair doesn’t fully recline, but that’s not a problem.
The state of the cabin also seems more soundproof than in other classes. For introverts, the PO class suite Kalingga Jaya is the right choice because the cabin space can be closed off using a curtain.
There was only one unpleasant experience for us, which was a slightly rancid smelling blanket. Maybe our blankets will be washed after this trip is over.
Others, the situation in PO class suite cabin Kalingga Jaya looks clean. The smell inside the bus as well as in the corridor is neutral. This situation has made us, who get drunk easily, able to accept and feel at ease during the journey.

4. Conclusion
The Sleeper Suite PO Kalingga Jaya class is the best choice for travelers who want to experience other means of transportation than trains and planes. Because a traveler can also stop in multiple places close to home.
And with an IDR 310,000 ticket, a traveler will get snacks and bread at the start of the journey. Not only that, a traveler will also get one off hearty meals around Weleri with a choice of 4 menus namely a buffet, geprek chicken, fried rice and tamarind garang.
Obviously that price won’t be found for the highest class on trains, let alone planes. Finally, we traveled from Semarang to Jakarta for six hours with occasional stops at Bekasi and others.
