It
costs less to take a four and a half bus ride in Malaysia, than it is in Goa to
take a forty-five minute taxi drive from the airport to Candolim. A bus ticket
from Kula Lumpur to Butterworth will cost you £7:50 (750 Rupees) with Transnasional.
Buy
your ticket from Puduraya bus station in KL.
You can take a direct bus to Penang;
however, we have never done this so you must ask about transfers from Penang
bus station to your hotel, when you book your ticket in KL.
When
you buy your ticket, you can also choose your seat.
Arrive
15 minutes before your bus leaves to allow you enough time to get your baggage
down to the right platform.
The
buses are very clean and comfy, with large
reclining
seats.
Half
way through the journey, there will be one stop at a petrol station or service
station for a short break to allow you to use the toilets and grab a snack to
eat on the bus, or just to stretch your legs.
The buses are air conditioned so I advise
you pack a lightweight coat or cardigan as sometimes it can get a little cold.
Arriving
in Butterworth, the ferry point to Penang is right there. Tickets costs 20p (0.20 Rupees) it takes around
fifteen to twenty minutes.
After
disembarking from the ferry, you can take a taxi to your hotel.
