Pulau Tikus Loop Free Shuttle Bus (1 January 2017)
Pulau Tikus Free Shuttle Bus, today replaced by CAT 5, is a free bus service in the Pulau Tikus District of George Town, Penang. The service was offered at the suggestion of local assemblyman Ms Yap Soo Huey to reduce congestion in the area, particularly during rush hours.
The Pulau Tikus Free Shuttle Bus service runs on an anti-clockwise loop route at intervals of between 15 and 20 minutes. Services operate from 8:00 am in the morning to 11:00 pm at night. A trial run of the shuttle service began on 1 December, 2013, as part of the Pulau Tikus Green Transport Users programme. The service was extended to include the Mount Erskine neighbourhood in February 2016.
Participants of the Green Transport Users programme receive a free Rapid Penang bus pass. This entitles them to unlimited free bus rides for a period of one month. To receive ths free bus pass, participant has to bring along two passport-size photographs and to show proof that the person lives or works in Pulau Tikus. This can be done by either furnishing a home address on the IC or an employment letter with a Pulau Tikus office address.

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.
