Cheaper group tickets for Penang Hill visitors
VISITORS who come to Penang Hill in large groups will now be able to purchase funicular train tickets at a cheaper price.
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said groups of a minimum of 10 visitors in the same price category would receive a 20% discount.
“The Penang Hill Corporation (PHC) board has just approved this decision and it is effective immediately,” Lim told at a press conference at his office in Komtar.
PHC general manager Datuk Lee Kah Choon said the move was to encourage tour agents to bring tourists to Penang Hill.
“A separate ticket counter will be opened for groups (at the bottom station) and tickets bought are only valid on the day of purchase,” he said.
Lee added that the operating hours for the funicular train would be extended during the Hari Raya period to give visitors a longer time to enjoy the scenery.
Trains will run two hours longer from 6.30am to 11pm from the first day of Hari Raya until Sept 4.
