Sungai Nibong Express Bus Terminal (GPS: 5.34318, 100.30031) is the main bus terminal for long-distance buses connecting Penang Island with various destinations in Malaysia and Singapore. It is located in Sungai Nibong, next to the Pesta Site, with the Bayan Lepas Elevated Highway in front of it.
The Sungai Nibong Express Bus Terminal was open to the public in April 2005. With the opening, express bus services were relocated from Kampungku in Gelugor. The site at Kampungku was not appropriate because there was insufficient space fo the commuters. The new Sungai Nibong site was chosen as it as ample sample for car park. There is also a taxi stand beside and in front of the terminal. The terminal is served by public buses along Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah and Jalan Sungai Dua. The proximity of Sungai Nibong to the Penang Bridge as well as its central located on Penang Island makes it an ideal site for the express bus terminal.
Getting there
Rapid Penang Bus nos. 102, 301, 302, 303, 304, 306, 307 and 401 pass by either Jalan Sungai Dua or Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, stopping at the bus stop to reach the Pesta Site.
If you arrive there, the easiest way to reach your final destination is to take the taxi. They are parked along Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah. Alternatively take the bus at the bus stops at Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah and Jalan Sungai Dua.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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