Kuala Lumpur’s iconic original open top double-decker buses are now in Penang! Launched on November 16, 2014, since then, visitors to Penang can see and experience the island’s attractions like never before.
Equipped with both pre-recorded and live commentary, these WiFi enabled Hop-On Hop-Off (HOHO) buses allow passengers to visit various Penang Points of Interest at their own pace and convenience.
This hop-on hop-off concept allows the ticket holder to get on a HOHO bus and to alight from it as and when he or she desires. Running two different routes, City and Beach, Penang’s HOHO services operate 7-days a week from 9am until 8pm with 20 to 30 minutes interval between each designated stop.
These daily continuous circular rides, with 33 bus stops, cover more than fifty major attractions on the island, including hundreds of hotels along the routes. The two interchange stops at Gurney Drive and Chowrasta allow passengers to switch between buses on the Beach Route and City Route seamlessly.
Bus tickets are available with validity of 24 and 48 hours. They are sold at authorised ticket agents, at the mobile counters at Gurney Drive (Stop 1) and Chowrasta (Stop 9), on-board the HOHO buses, and online at myhoponhopoff.com. All ticket holders will receive a complimentary Penang Tourist Guide Booklet.
