Penang’s future transport system

Preferred mode of travel: The Penang state government plans to have the first LRT line completed in five to six years' time.

With population growth and the trend of people moving further away from the city centre, the light rail transit (LRT) becomes a practical option.

AS envisioned in the Penang Transport Master Plan Strategy, which is aimed for completion by the year 2030, a rail-based public transport will play a significant role in the future transport system of Penang Island.
