Hi Luke, regarding the taxi in Penang. There was a junction at 38:35 between the ferry (Left) and Penang Sentral (Right). If u had turn to the left you could've save yourself RM59. The ferry is only RM 5 and it only takes 15 mins to cross the ocean. Taxi is a scam especially when they target tourists.

@@cedricyoung25 you need to get out of the building, maybe cross a road and get Grab from the roadside, with the Taxi's samseng attitude, the Grab drivers don't dare to go into Penang Sentral to pickup.

Luke, usually people don't take the taxi from Butterworth to Georgetown because Georgetown is on the island of Penang. The best, more convenient and much much much cheaper option is the ferry and then taxi from the other side of the pier (on the island). I was shouting noooo then you decided to get a grab/taxi to the island. Ferry cost about RM2 from Butterworth to Georgetown. That price is not rip-off - it's an official price with taxi as you got it from the counter itself. You can get ripped-off if you negotiate the taxi off the counter. Taxi is pricier than Grab in Malaysia. Confusion at the counter: RM64 for you RM42 is for the other guy wearing grey jumper.

Hi Luke. Next time you ride the train and need to take the lift, always look around you first before following the crowd. When you arrived in Butterworth, the lift is actually just on the other side of the stairs. Most well known public transportation stations (or platforms) in popular cities in Malaysia, have been upgraded for easier mobility access- an elevator, and maybe also an escalator in addition to the stairs. You just need to look for the signboards or ask around. Anyways, hope you have a great time in Penang.

It's actually easier and cheaper if you take the ferry to the island and then from the ferry terminal it's easier for you to get a grab once you're on the island.... it becomes expensive when you take a taxi because they paid for the toll when using the bridge plus grab is always cheaper because they don't pay rent to the company.

It's a pity that the lounge didn't provide rich food, otherwise everything would be perfect! It’s great that the train has its own screen to use! Overcooling of air conditioners in confined spaces is a common problem in Asia. It is really incomprehensible! I support you. That cup of coffee must be at least eight points full. The cake must be at least two pieces and the flavors must be different! The bento dishes on the train are really not as good as those in Japan and Taiwan, but if the bento is included in the train fare, then it’s okay! It's not your fault that you get lost in the train station, they should have clear signs or have enough attendants at the alighting area to assist passengers! 64 is 22 yuan more than 42. I wonder if this kind of confusion is normal in Malaysia? This is illegal in my country and the driver will be punished by the taxi company!

I think 64 is reasonable. The grab price shown is not inclusive of the toll fee for crossing the bridge, usually grab driver will add the toll fee when they complete the order. I think those grab drivers cancelled the order because they do not wanna cross the bridge, the fare simply can not cover their cost since they have no passenger for return trip.

Actually it’s not confusing if you know which train (LRT, MRT, KTM komuter) you want to ride…there are all located on the GF except for the MONOREL which is located on the 1st floor… one side of the KL Sentral is facing the hotel (Hilton n Le Meridian) side and the other one is to the shopping mall Nu Sentral.

@@nkveMRT station not at the same floor too. But you can find it by follow the signage. Plus there's an information counter with staff provided. What I found that many first time users missed a big transit map hanged on the wall nor far from ticket machines. The transit map provides information about the whole train lines, connections & stations (except ETS). They just go to the ticket machines which provide limited information. Then they will have problem to select which train line & find their final station. Next they'll try to buy tickets from staff at counters. But ended up staff will ask them to buy tickets from those machines.

Maybe for the first time, KL's stations are a bit of a puzzle.

Thats crazy to say tokyo stations are easier… it took me 3 trips to tokyo to understand the layout of Tokyo station and for Shinjuku i pretty much just has given up

I didn't know about the train from Penang to KL so I took the bus. Instead of the planned 5 hours it took 9 :) Was cheap though haha

GRAB lowered the rate too much, so drivers won't pick up. It's harder to get a driver now with GRAB.
