Yes, the bus in front and beside the entrance got display. Prepare exact cash and coins, ask the driver for the price and destination. For example, airport to komtar costs RM2.70. Some places like Queensbay, buses from both directions will stop at the same bus stop one , remember to ask for the direction first.

The roads in the North, West and South of PG island are very winding, up down left right like snake, like our South Buona Vista Road, must be careful.

Haha yes but currently not there. Hmmm it's a building tho, well, it's much better compared to Sri Sayang .... But what's the price for Gurney Hotel suite and Northam all suite ? There's a kopitiam called Northam beach which is by the beach, not bad one .

You mean G Hotel?

Stayed there before and it is not cheap though walking distance to the shopping malls and Gurney Drive open space hawker centre.

Thanks. I will take note of this when I go to Penang again.

I have noted that the cost of living in Penang has increased drastically over the years.

Penang Accommodation.

Hey Man,

I think don't stay hotel is better. Hotel so expensive. Penang got many homestay and guesthouse. I think it is more interesting and cheaper too.

I tried this one on travelmob Singapore - Foo's charming penang guesthouse. You can just google it. It is one whole landed property -Pretty value for money and located a very peaceful area.

Taxi or Rapid bus. Or else drive. Public transport ain't that great after all. Taxi may be metered or not
