Yup, Penang has a fairly reliable bus system with the estimated waiting times displayed on a large screen at Komtar.

Check out the Rapid Penang Bus website above.

Taxis are pretty expensive as they don't use the meter.

How long does it take to get from the airport to G Hotel by cab? Or should I just request for airport transfer from the hotel? Or take bus better?

Oh and also, any 'famous' things to buy back from Penang as gifts?

It cost 42rm for the cab ride to G hotel from the airport.

U need to purchase the taxi coupon upon arrival and pass it to the taxi dvr.

Depending on traffic conditions, but approx 30mins to reach

Does this have to do with Tune Hotel?
I read somewhere it's advisable to request for a room with window upon check-in

Yes, i'm referring to Tune hotel... what's the reason for that? practical reason? or supernatural stuff???

Anyone knows what's there to eat/do at butterworth? How long is the ferry ride?
