Issues
The
serious level of traffic congestion in the city. The planning and provision of transportation for urban travel in Penang was targeted for the need of private car users (JICA, 1986 and Rasagam, 1999).

The facilities provided through public transportation are
poor (Selvanathan, 2007). Hence, the woes and complaints from publics and tourists need further investigation.
