Ferry is the best and cheapest way to travel between George Town and Butterworth. Taxi is also good but it's much more expensive and needs to travel much longer distance (because the bridge connecting Butterworth to the Penang Island is a lot south of Butterworth and George Town) The ferry terminal on Butterworth side is called Pangkalan Sultan Abdul Halim Ferry Terminal. It's next to the main transportation hub of Butterworth consisting of its bus terminal and train station. With bus and train you can get to and from Kuala Lumpur and other parts of Malaysia. Ferry terminal on the Penang Island side is called Pangkalan Raja Tun Uda Ferry Terminal. It's a 10-20 minute walk to the center of George Town. Ferries depart roughly twice per hour between 5:20 and 0:10 (10 minutes past midnight) from Butterworth. Return ferries depart between 5:40 and 0:40 (40 minutes past midnight) from George Town. Fare is 1.2 Ringgit, or about 30 cents USD, per passenger. If you have need to transport your bike or car it will cost extra. Trip takes about 20 minutes Taxi fare to get to George Town from Butterworth is 30-40RM, or 7.5-10 US. Trip takes about 40-60 minutes, depending on traffic. In Penang the best way to get taxi is by Grab app, which is a taxi hailing app like Uber (Uber actually sold its Malaysian operation to Grab).

Living in island and visited this place after more than 10 years sitting here. Very big change compare to last time, for sure. It’s 10 years. Never got chance visited the connected mall.
A ferry terminal at Georgetown that connects Penang Island to Butterworth in West Malaysia. Ferry departs every 20 minutes. It serves crossing ferry service for passengers and vehicles. It is connected directly to Weld Quay Rapid Penang bus hub. Nearby here are also a good place for tourists to have photo shooting of the seaview and old architecural buildings of Penang
Accessable. Easy to go.
nice ferry but less frequency of service
Just nice
