For passengers heading to Penang Island, the terminus is the Stesen Keretapi Butterworth (GPS: 5.3927, 100.36774) . From the train station, you can cross over to Pengkalan Sultan Abdul Halim, which is connected with a passenger viaduct. The ferry takes you across the channel to Pengkalan Raja Tun Uda at Weld Quay in George Town, where you can take the taxi or the Rapid Penang local bus to destinations all over the island. That's the benefit for people without their own transport, as it takes you right into the heart of the city whereas with the Penang Bridge, you are several miles away. On the other hand, if you are driving, then you will find that the Penang Bridge is a faster alternative.
Since 2015, the Butterworth Railway Station is served by the Electric Train Service or ETS. This high-speed rail service connects Butterworth to Gemas in the south and Padang Besar in the north.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
