Location of Regency Heights
Regency Heights is 17.7 km to Komtar, 8.5 km to the Second Penang Bridge and 6.1 km to the Penang International Airport. By Penang standard, it is far from the city. If you work in the city, you should think twice before considering a home in this neighbourhood - after all, you will be travelling through other people's neighbourhoods before you get home. It is best for people working in the south side, such as at the Bayan Lepas Industrial Zone - though even then, I would say it is a bit remote.
Public Transport at Regency Heights
Rapid Penang Bus No. 302, 305 and 308 pass through Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim. The walk to the nearest bus stop is terribly far - something to consider if you rely on public transport.
Traffic along Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim is heaviest between the Sungai Ara village and the junction of Jalan Kenari. The junction of Jalan Bayan and Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim is a source of congestion, especially during rush hour, when traffic queues can slow traffic to a crawl.
