GEORGE TOWN – If Penangites are serious about resolving the ongoing traffic issues plaguing the island, then they have no choice but to embrace the Penang Transport Master Plan as its solution.

Speaking to The Vibes, Infrastructure and Transport exco Zairil Khir Johari explained that the master plan has been chiefly designed to alleviate the congestions once and for all.

“Currently only the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway represents the backbone of a traffic dispersal system. It is unfortunately overwhelmed as traffic continues to pile up, given the recent struggles during the peak holiday break,” he said.


The Tg Bunga rep added that a more robust public transportation system will not solve the issue, pointing out that Rapid Penang provides complimentary shuttle service in the city area and the suburbs, but the roads remain jammed.
