Hin Company Bus Depot

Hin Company Bus Depot, Brick Kiln Road, Penang (30 January 2006)


The Hin Company Bus Depot (GPS: 5.4122, 100.32813) is a disused bus depot along Brick Kiln Road, in George Town, Penang. It was built in the Art Deco style. After a consolidation exercise, the bus company was rebranded KGN Hin Bus, and continued for a few more years before folding over.

Today the Hin Company Bus Depot remains in a disused state. It is one of the prettiest bus depots in Penang, though at the moment it appears neglected and overlooked.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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