Penang “Kancil car park” opens
The Penang Hill multi-storey car park, is finally open to the public after a long delay and its share of controversy.
The RM11.49 million facility, which was opened by Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, has a total of 305 parking lots available for vehicles while 182 lots are reserved for motorcycles.
Among the features of the car park is the commercial area on the ground floor, including 11 stalls, a food court and an alfresco dining area.
The car park is also built with disabled-friendly ramps with direct access to a passenger lift.
The parking rate for vehicles has been set at RM2 for the first hour and RM1 for each subsequent hour. Motorcyclists get to park for free.
The facility was earlier dubbed the "Kancil car park", due to its poor design, which included steep ramps and parking bays said to be only suitable for Perodua Kancil cars.
Following an outcry, the state government demolished the building and rebuilt the car park.
