Jalan Tramway/Jalan Trem

Jalan Tramway (15 December 2008)


Jalan Tramway, now also written as Jalan Trem, is a short road off Dato Kramat Road. It got its name because there used to be a tram depot there (which was completed in 1907). There was a time when trams ran on the streets in Penang. You can learn more about it from my other article, When Trams ran in Penang.

Today the site of the tram depot is being used as the depot for Rapid Penang buses.

Getting there

The nearest bus stop is at Dato Kramat Road. Rapid Penang Bus 11, 201, 202, 203, 204, 206, 301, 302 and 502 pass through there.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
