Some of the best days in George Town are the ones where you leave the car behind and simply enjoy the journey. Hop on the CAT (Central Area Transit) Bus from Weld Quay Bus Terminal and explore the city at a slower pace, where every stop brings you a little closer to the sights, flavours and stories that make Penang so special.
Start your adventure by alighting at Dewan Sri Pinang, where the picturesque Municipal Fountain Park offers the perfect heritage backdrop for your next OOTD. Surrounded by colonial architecture and lush greenery, it’s a great spot to soak in the city’s timeless charm.
Feeling hungry? Stay on the bus and hop off at Wisma MCA, just a short three-minute walk from Deen Mutiara. Treat yourself to a hearty plate of nasi kandar paired with a hot glass of teh tarik – a classic Penang combination that never disappoints.
Continue your journey by alighting at Lebuh Campbell, where you can browse through Penang Bazaar for local souvenirs, handicrafts and unique finds to bring home. Just a short walk away is the bustling Chowrasta Market, where you can cool off with the iconic Ais Tingkap before picking up a pack of Jeruk Madu Pak Ali, one of Penang’s most-loved local treats.
The beauty of exploring George Town isn’t about rushing from one attraction to another. It’s about slowing down, hopping on and off, discovering hidden gems along the way, and letting the city surprise you at every stop.
With the CAT Bus, that’s exactly the kind of journey you can enjoy.
The CAT Bus operates daily from Weld Quay Bus Terminal. The service is free, runs every 20 minutes, and covers 19 stops throughout the central George Town area. So, the next time you’re in Penang, leave the driving behind and let the CAT Bus take you on your next city adventure.
