Transportation in Penang is made easy with the Penang taxi service. Penang is well-connected by road, rail, sea and air. Not only is Penang’s air and train service good, the seaways also offer good transportation in Penang. Penang Taxi Service is one of the most common modes of transportation in Penang. The island is densely populated. Therefore, roadways in Penang get pretty congested during rush hour in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. The roads on Penang Island are also narrow having been built without foreseeing such a large volume of traffic in the future. To curb this problem, plans are afoot to build a monorail system, similar to that in Kuala Lumpur. The Penang Outer Ring Road Project that is planned to make Penang taxi service easy by providing traffic between the north and south of the island is currently underway. Taxis in Penang Cabs in Penang are commonly available around the island. Although they are designated by the Authorities to use a meter for transport charges, most do not conform to the standard and it would be best to agree on a fixed fare before boarding. You may either insist on the meter being turned on or agree on the price before you move off. Taxis normally charge between RM3.00 - RM6.00 for short distances within the city.
