BEST transport service from @rapidpg
This is a great news for everyone who stay in mainland in butterworth who usually need to travel to Penang Island to work. Rapid Penang have do a trial run in support with Penang Government to take part this program. This BEST ( Bridge Express Shuttle Transit ) program is benefits to all users which need to go Industrial zone from mainland in Butterworth.
This program start from 1st March 2011 for 6 months. The journey start from Sunway Carnival Car park in Seberang Jaya to Penang Island from Monday to Friday except Public Holiday. Total of 16 Buses will join this program and all Rapid Penang on this BEST program will have wi-fi ready.
From my understanding :
– user park their car in Sunway Carnival Car Park ( RM 1 each day )
– proceed to bus stop which opposite 7-11 around 3 minutes walk to take the bus
– rapid bus will classified as BA, BB and BC.
-Earliest is from 5.30am and run every 20 minutes until 8.10am. Trip is around 45 minutes.
-To go back, time start from 4.30pm from Bukit jambul Complex, also 20 minutes until last bus is 7.30pm.
As I understand on the first day 1st march, there is a accident just outside of Intel zone and cause massive Jam. Overall the operation works well and some of my collegues praise with this program. The catch is remember the car need to be lock at all times to prevent the thieves.
Benefits :
– save money on toll and petrol ( Big plus )
– each day pay RM 1 for car park in Sunway Carnival.
– wifi for everyone in the bus to check news, music, fb, twitter…
