GEORGE TOWN, Malaysia: Rapid Penang is ready to introduce a free shuttle bus service in inner city George Town by the end of the year, its chief executive officer Azhar Ahmad said.
The company is ironing out the final details with the Penang Municipal Council, which will fund the service, he said.
"We started negotiations with the Council in June and we'll have three or four shuttle buses covering the T10 route currently provided by Rapid Penang.
"The shuttle buses will be stationed at the main terminal in Weld Quay and cover a distance of about 13.5km," he told reporters after a Public Transportation seminar on Tuesday.
