If you are planning to explore Penang on a budget, you should consider taking the bus. Rapid Penang, the main bus company in the state, has an extensive route covering the island and mainland. To help budget travelers travel around Penang smoothly, I have put together a comprehensive Rapid Penang Bus Routes Guide.
On this page you can find all the Rapid Penang bus routes covering Penang Island and Seberang Perai. To use this bus route, first determine where you wish to go, and then search for it by doing a quick Find (key in Ctrl+F). I have colour coded the bus numbers for easy identification.
Selected Rapid Penang buses have free onboard WiFi service for its passengers. The WiFi service is now available on two long-distance routes, namely 101 (Weld Quay to Teluk Bahang via Batu Ferringhi) and 401E (Weld Quay to the Penang International Airport).
You can now explore Penang on Rapid Penang buses using the Rapid Penang Tourist Passport. Available at selected outlets, the passport allows you unlimited travel on the buses for a whole week, and costs only RM20.00 per copy. For details, click on Rapid Penang Tourist Passport.
Taking the bus from Airport
If you arrive at the Penang International Airport, you can take 401 and 401E to George Town. You can also take 102 to Batu Ferringhi.
