Penang Sentral, Penang

Penang Sentral is the future transportation hub for Penang presently under construction in Butterworth. The mixed-development project will be a hub for rail, bus and sea transportation. It is expected to replace the temporary Butterworth Bus Terminal and the new home for Rapid Penang in Butterworth.
Penang Sentral is being touted as the "gateway to the Northern Corridor of Malaysia" by its developers, namely Koridor Utara, MRCB, Pelaburan Hartanah Berhad and Penang Sentral Sdn Bhd.
The whole development of Penang Sentral will cover an area of 12.8 hectares and will cost anywhere in the region of RM2 billion. The floor area of the complex is 6 million square feet (557,418 sq meters). The first phase, with a price tag of RM300 million, involves the construction of a new bus and taxi interchange connected to the railway station and ferry terminal. It is expected to be completed in 2011 - though time will tell whether that deadline can be realised.
