On my last day to Penang office today, i try out this Park & Ride Programme.
PARK AND RIDE PROGRAMSource: PTC
The Penang State Government is planning to introduce Park & Ride service for those who commute to Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone (FIZ). Several sites have been identified in Seberang Perai as Park and Ride station for this purpose. The Penang State Government will launch the first Park & Ride station at Bandar Sunway on 1st March 2011.
The express service will depart from Bandar Sunway to FIZ area in the morning and return from FIZ area to Bandar Sunway in the evening. The operating period for the express service is as follows:
Morning session : 5. 30 am to 8.10 am
Evening session : 4. 30 pm to 7.30 pm
Car parking is available around Sunway Carnival Mall. Factory personnel can park their vehicles anywhere around this area and board the express service to Bayan Lepas FIZ. The express service will cover almost FIZ 1,2,3&4, Technoplex and BLIP. This express service is provided free of charge.
The objective of this service is to reduce congestion within the corridor of the proposed Park and Ride service particularly the roads leading to the factories. Apart form this, the State Government’s intention is to promote the use of public transport.
So mr.hubby yg bercuti hari ini and zarif sent me to sunway carnival this morning. Mujur la zarif ada abah, kalau tak mau dia mengamuk nk ikut agaknya =)
In total ada 3 routes, which cover most area mention above.
BEST A - FIZ 1, 2 & BLIP (9 trip pegi, 8 trip balik)
BEST B - FIZ 3 & BLIP (9 trip pegi, 8 trip balik)
BEST C - FIZ 4 & TECHNOPLEX (9 trip pegi, 10 trip balik)
Lucky am I - all 3 lalu opis =)
So i take Best A this morning - trying out the longest trip ( i think la).
Depart at 7.53am (jam semasa) arrive at 8.38. Not bad huh? Eventhough bas lalu jalan jauh, tp still xyah fikir jalan yg jem, tol & minyak. =)
Last but not least, this is most interesting one. =)

Overall, saya menyokong program ini 100%.
Mungkin sbb masih baru or sbb byk trip disediakan, trip saya tadi cuma ada 10 org ja pun..
Next time balik saya pasti nk naik lagi..
p/s: Petang ni x dapat nk naik bas balik sbb mr.hubby & zarif nk datang amik.. =)
