New Penang ferry service , Georgetown to Butterworth

[@yuhezhan]

Thanks so much for this! I was contemplating KTMB and Bus from Penang to KL. After seeing your video, I think Bus is a better choice given I'll be traveling with big luggages and 3 kids. This is very helpful! If your next video is about boarding the ETS.. it'd be great to link it at the end of this video! :)

Oh wow! Travelling with 3 kids! I'd suggest you take the train, there are seat the 2 seats facing 2 seats that is perfect you your trip. Just at the end of the video you will see the link of the ETS trains videos.

Have they changed the Penang side terminal? Previously I arrived near the Victoria Tower and Fort Cornwallis.

Yeah Back to the original jetty now ^_^

This place got a lot of memories…especially 1988.

I wonder can you book a private stateroom onboard to better relax and some sleep on the crossing?

Great video man. One question- I’m thinking of taking the 7AM ferry to Butterworth and catch 7:50 train to Kuala Lumpur. Is it reasonable to think that I will be able to catch the train on time given that the ferry ride takes around 30 mins? Also, how punctual are the departures?

[@Follow_ussg]

Thank you. I think a bit too rush even the ferry is very punctual, it will slower during heavy rain and you need about 5-10min walk from the terminal.

[@AyushTravelVlogs]

@@Follow_ussg thanks for the reply! Feels like I would need to reconsider my options😅

[@Follow_ussg]

All the best for your trip in my hometown.

[@tickettotravel14]

How far is this ferry station from Georgetown

[@Follow_ussg]

Georgetown is big, I'd suggest you use Google Map to check the distance from your venue for accurate distance :) I stayed in the hotel just across the jetty, it is more convenient for me.

[@aghateeshangunaseelan7573]

How long is the ferry ride?

[@Follow_ussg]

About 30min.
