Penang trishaws due for makeover soon
Good news for trishaw riders in the state — they will not only be “re-branded” but will soon have a place to take a shower or a short nap during the day.
State Tourism Development and Culture Committee chairman Danny Law Heng Kiang said 90 trishaws from two organisations would also be overhauled and repaired by the end of the year.
He said the exercise was made possible by the joint initiative of the state government and DiGi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd.
On the venue for riders to rest or take a shower, he said several sites in Victoria Street and Kimberley Street were being considered.
“There is only one shop in the state that does such repairs, which means it will take time to repair all the 90 trishaws.”
Currently, it costs RM30 for an hour-long tour.
