Is it possible to take a cab from Airport to Batu Maung to see the village and Penang War Museum.

After that from Batu Maung cab up to Georgetown to start my trip?

Can't seem to find any taxi stand in that area, and I'm worried that there isn't much taxis there since it's not the town area

Cabs are not frequently spotted in Batu Maung. If you know cab radio phone no, you may get a cab with extra charge.

These days Batu Maung is hardly a village. The second Penang Bridge terminates there. Board Rapid Bus 302 a short walk away from the airport to get there. From Batu Maung to Georgetown, you can board the same service or 307 where you got off.

Hi guys. Ask you. I be travelling to Penang of 7 adults and 2 children, we intend to rent a 7 seater vehicle to drive around. Any advice how easy is it? If driving to places like shopping malls, how are usually parking fees charged, by cash or cash card like in sg?

Very easy to drive. I feel much easier compared to SG. Take coupon and pay before exit
