THE Penang ferry terminals and the ferries need a facelift.The trouble is those who can do something about this probably cross the channel in their cars and don’t see the ugly side of it. Those on the receiving end of the unpleasant sights and poor service are the foot passengers.
The Weld Quay overhead bridge, the taxi area, the ugly stalls and the walkways on both sides need a major makeover.
Perhaps, there is a need to install escalators on both sides of the ferry terminal.
The only escalator on the Butterworth side is always breaking down. The waiting areas at both sides also need better seats and fans.
The ferries also need to be clean. At times, the windows are smeared with bird droppings. I’ve noticed that the ferry sides, ceilings and seat areas are also dirty.
The Penang Hill railway and the ferry service are unique to Penang. They need to be properly maintained at all times. Please start now.
