More news on rail network developments from the tabling of Budget 2024 today. The upcoming LRT project for the state of Penang has been estimated to cost in the region of RM10 billion, according to plans by the Penang state government through a PPP (public-private partnership).
The LRT project is part of the Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP) that will connect Komtar and Bayan Lepas with 23 stations along the 26.8 km line. The rail line project was also revealed in 2016 to include a Georgetown-Butterworth LRT line that will connect the island with the mainland, along with a tram system in Georgetown as well as a few monorail lines.
In May, transport minister Anthony Loke said that the federal government has made a decision in principle to implement the Penang LRT project.

Finally…this LRT should be done 10 years ago better late than never.
Meanwhile MRT for whole of KL cost the same. Why is it a smaller LRT servicing only to Seberang Prai cost so expensive? Something is fishy with the Govt…
There is no sea to cross in KL
Envy and Depressed then blamed salah komunis and china and dap
Sounds like you want to go back to tongsan…greener pasture perhaps or maybe you are one of the 1.3 million mainland MIA here…they came but didnt return
Both wumao CCP lovers and racists like you are dragging Malaysia down
Your opinion means ntg because you are nobody. Keep you useless opinion to your small pathetic brain.
The government should have spend a little to allocate the rail network during the construction of the 2nd bridge. Hence may not require RM 10bil. now to construct
Dr m said the first bridge has capacity to add mrt when it was built but knowing dr m and lying ways, it’s probably Not true.
MRT must link butterworth ktm station to island. I think jkr already got this planned decades ago but never built.
Second bridge route is not suitable for mrt. Too far off city centres.
I’m just thinking since the first bridge was build in the 80s, it may be acceptable if the original design have not included allowance for the rail expansion. But, most probably it could have included the allowance for a rail network too during the expansion of the 3rd lane at the Penang bridge done like 15 years ago? Perhaps unknown engineering constraint due to the vessel traffic passing as it may require different gradient for a rail vs road.
Alamak,, macam tak cerdik mengutamakan menda alah ni,, rm10b tu,, apa boleh buat, ye tak?
Is it really needed?
Of course badly needed. You sound like someone never step out the island
Try to live in Penang. It’s fun
build at JB 1st lar..
at a time when prudence should be exercised and the environment looked after, this gov spends 10b for MRT.
Why cant we build trams like those in Italy and Australia

When our car ownership recurring costs are the same as theirs then for sure boleh. Compare our road tax and insurance cost with theirs. And then see that no bank there will give car loan sampai 9 years. We have an apparent high entry point to ownership with our tax structure, but that isn’t dissuading most people from getting in to massive debt to drive a car. Couple that with a public transport system massively handicapped by so many vested interests and you can see why a proportion of people buy a car. The rest mau gaya only.
Penang should implement long time ago an integrated transportation centre like Singapore or better…
Sabah and Sarawak are fallen behind WM. We’re still running dated diesel engine train while WM had moved into LRT, MRT and HSR. How sad.
Cheers stone ages!!!
Terowong masih ghaib lagi
