Getting around Penang is easy. You can hop on public transport and explore the state by taxis, buses or trishaws.

Taxis
Please ensure that the meter is switched on or agree on the price before you begin your ride.

Buses
The Hop On Free Central Area Transit (CAT) takes visitors to George Town for free. This bus service is available every 15 minutes from 6am till midnight. It plies between the Weld Quay Jetty and KOMTAR, taking you to 19 stops within this UNESCO World Heritage City. The main bus terminals are at Weld Quay Jetty (ferry terminal) and KOMTAR (ground floor). Most buses use coin machines to collect fares.

Trishaws
Travel the old fashion way. Get on a trishaws, a unique three-wheeled vehicle, and take in the sights at your own pace. You can stop at any point to snap pictures or buy souvenirs. As there is no standard fare, it would be wise to agree on the price before getting on the trishaw. For extended sightseeing, it is advisable to hire them by the hour.
