Penang
KKKL provides daily bus services from Singapore to Penang, which comprises two parts – inland Peninsular Malaysia and Penang Island. You can now go to Penang from Singapore, effortlessly and easily with our daily bus service. Our bus services depart from Singapore and stop at several locations in Penang, including Butterworth and Nibong Tebal. The journey takes approximately 10 hours, depending on traffic and immigration clearance. Our Singapore to Penang bus departs daily at 9:30 pm from Kovan, followed by 10 pm from Katong V. As traffic is less congested at night, passengers can expect to arrive in Penang around 6 am, avoiding the heavy morning rush hour traffic at the Penang bridge.
Wondering how to get to Penang from Singapore? The bus makes two stops, one at the Sungai Nibong bus terminal and the other at Komtar Penang, the heart of Georgetown in Penang. Most customers prefer to alight at Komtar Penang as it is located in the city centre, where most of the hotels are situated. However, for those looking to connect to their next destination, the Sungai Nibong bus terminal would be an ideal place to descend.

Why Penang Island is an International Hotspot
Penang Island is regarded as one of the top 15 best islands to retire on, according to International Living, a website that covers global retirement or relocation opportunities. The island is famous for its local food, where all the hawker food sold is cooked by local people, preserving the taste of the hawker food at its original taste. Here are some highly recommended hawker foods in Penang:
- Char Keow Teo –This is considered fried noodles and is heavily fried using charcoal as its fuel instead of gas and is cooked with duck eggs instead of chicken eggs. The noodles are then sprinkled with bean sprouts and fried together. With the heat from the wok, upon the first bite of the noodle, you can feel the “Wok Hei” of the noodle, a distinct charred, smoky flavour resulting from stir-frying foods over an open flame in Cantonese cuisine.
