Botanic Garden Tram Service

Botanic Gardens Tram Service (29 May 2011)




Botanic Garden Tram Service is a service for ferrying passengers between the parking lot and the main entrance of the Penang Botanic Gardens. Since the facelift given to the gardens, only a limited number of parking space is available close to the main entrance.

Most visitors are now expected to park at the many parking lots located further away. The journey from these parking lots to the main entrance can be quite a distance, some 400 meters or so.

The tram service allows all passengers to enjoy a leisurely ride to the entrance. Along the way, they can view the extended parkland that has been created with the expansion of the garden, including the riverside walkway and rest stops. One also passes the famous Moon Gate.

The tram service costs RM2.00 for a return trip. It is operational on days when visitors are expected to be plentiful. This is especially so during the Penang Floral Festival, which is held at the Botanic Gardens every year.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
