In Penang, the buses are operated by Rapid Penang. Penang bus frequency is quite low. Take a look at Rapid Penang official schedule, you’ll see that in average 20-30 minutes frequency. That means if a bus just passes by your bus stop, you’ll have to wait 20-30 minutes for the next bus. In addition, the bus arrives at slightly different time every day. You can’t set the same time everyday for you to start going from home. More often you’ll miss the bus if you do that.

Here’s two ways to know when rapid penang bus arrive at bus stop:

\n
    \n
  1. Go to Penang Rider and click edit button. Select the bus number, the direction and the bus stop, and then click save. The website will show you the estimated time arrival for the selected bus at the chosen bus stop. As simple as that. You can bookmark the website, and open it anytime you’re going to ride bus.
    2. \n
  2. Go to Rapid Penang Journey planner (JP). Beside Route Name type in the bus number, a dropdown will appear for you to choose. Click “Vehicle ETA” button, and it will show you a table showing all bus stops for the bus selected and the time arrival for each.
    3. \n
\n

Both websites use the same bus data and arrival time. The arrival time is accurate, however make sure to arrive at the bus stop few minutes earlier.

Penang Rider is more mobile phone friendly. The page is designed to fit in mobile phone screen. It also feels easier to select for the bus in Penang Rider. Penang Rider can also be installed in the phone as mobile app. In my next blog I will show you step by step how to install as mobile app.
