Penang Hill Jeep Service

Penang Hill Jeep Service (29 May 2011)


Penang Hill Jeep Service was a public transport service to reach the top of Penang Hill. This was put in place when the Penang Hill Funicular Railway was under repair. Since then, the service has been discontinued.

During its run, the Penang Hill Jeep Service had a dozen jeeps to take passengers up the hill. The adult price for a return journey up Penang Hill is RM15 per person. There are two types of jeeps or 4WD vehicles, those that take 4 passengers and those that take 6. Passengers have to wait till the jeep is fully occupied before the journey can start. Those who do not wish to wait can also charter a whole jeep. Children aged 7-12 are charged children's fare.

The jeep uses the winding tar road to go up the hill. This steep road is often used by hikers as well. There are tea kiosk along the route that are manned by the hikers. These volunteer kiosks run on donation, and offer the hikers a place to relax and chit-chat before continuing on their hike up the hill.

Jeep service rates removed now that the service is discontinued (29 May 2011)

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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