6. Riding On The Legendary Penang Ferry
It’s been buzzing around social media that the Penang Ferry will only be available for pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and emergency vehicles only starting 2021. Furthermore, the ferry service will be temporarily transferred to the Swettenham Pier and due to its high maintenance issue, the two old ferries might be replaced with catamarans next year. So if you want to relive those nostalgic memories of the iconic Penang Ferry, then this is the time to do it.
