NKS busses are more expensive than public transport though if you are on a tight schedule, they can take all of the organising out of the equation for you.

Jerantut is dead town at night. Except for Saturday night where local night market Pasar Malamis held, city sleeps at 11-12PM. On Sunday flee market is quite interesting to look into.
