Penang Transport Master Plan is to sustain island’s development

Traffic standstill on the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway (LCE) in Penang. The Pan-Island Link 1 (PIL1) as a new spinal road can relieve the load on the LCE.

CITIES become more liveable, progressive and sustainable when there is enhanced accessibility and connectivity to move people around and this is achieved by providing sufficient and efficient public transport.

However, moving people solely on public transport is not a total solution. We cannot ignore the fact that private vehicle ownership will continue to rise in developing countries and to cater to this, roads are essential.
