Location
Lavinia Apartment is 11.9 km from Magazine Circus. It is ideal for people working in the south side of Penang Island, such as at the Bayan Lepas Industrial Zone. It is a bit far for those working in the city, although the Jelutong Expressway has somewhat cut down on travelling time. Its location is a bit deep in for those who rely on public transport, which is available along the main road, Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah.
Public Transport
Rapid Penang Bus 303, 304, 305, 306, 308, 401 and 705 pass through Sungai Nibong.
Amenities
The nearest school in Sungai Nibong includes Kwang Hwa Primary School, Shih Chung (Primary) Branch School and Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sungai Nibong. Nearby schools include Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Phor Tay and Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Keong Hoe in Sungai Dua. The nearest market in Sungai Nibong is the Lip Sin Market and Super Tanker Market. The nearest shopping mall is Queensbay Mall. Petrol stations in Sungai Nibung includes the Mobil at Pantai Jerejak, the Caltex and the two Shell stations near the Bayan Baru Roundabout. The nearest hospital is Pantai Hospital in Bayan Baru.
Traffic
Traffic is usually smooth along Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, the main thoroughfare through Sungai Nibung. The Bayan Lepas Elevated Highway further helps to reduce the congestion. Having said that, one exception to the rule is on Friday evenings, when the traffic slows to a crawl due to commuters heading towards the Penang Bridge north of Sungai Nibung, and the traffic lights at Jalan Sungai Dua, near USM. The junction at Jalan Aziz Ibrahim also experiences slow traffic on Wednesday nights where the Pasar Malam at Pantai Jerejak is in session.
