Kampung Baru Market, Air Itam

Kampung Baru Market (19 May 2013)


Kampung Baru Market (GPS: 5.40569, 100.2963) is a wet market located in a sort of traffic island, surrounded by Jalan Air Itam. The market has been around since the 1960's. There is a small parking lot in front of the market that allows a few cars to park, although when the market is in session, the whole road is congested. The location is not the most ideal for a market, being in the middle of a major road. This is compounded by the proximity of Chung Ling High School, one of the biggest schools in the area. Lack of space means this market has no room to expand. Other markets, such as the one in Farlim and Riffle Range have been created to take the load off this market.

Getting there

Its strategic location means that Kampung Baru Market is served by many bus routes including Rapid Penang 201, 202, 203, 204 and 206. Driving there may be a problem if you are going during the busy marketing time, as finding parking space will be difficult.
