Free buses for all Penangites!
Free bus services in Penang will continue in 2025 with an allocation of RM7 million for 280,000 passes, thanks to high demand from many users.
The Mutiara Pass program, which offers free travel on all Rapid Penang buses, has shown impressive progress since its introduction in March 2021, with almost 200,000 subscriptions and a consistent increase in passengers.
Exco for Infrastructure and Transport and Digital, Zairil Khir Johari, confirmed that not only will this initiative continue, but the 15 free CAT Bridge buses will also remain, providing smooth travel on major routes.
This move is expected to reduce the need for private cars, while saving on petrol, tolls, and parking costs.
Overall, more trips, more savings, Penang public transport is now stronger than ever!
