PENANG MCA is urging the state government to replace the Bayan Lepas Light Rail Transit (LRT) project with the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system.

Its secretary Yeoh Chin Kah said besides being a cheaper option, the BRT system would take a shorter period, about a year to complete, and was more suitable for residents in the city centre.
