PENANG TRANSPORT MASTER PLAN
PENANG SOUTH RECLAMATION
The Penang State Government’s holistic
development vision that offers a solution to
the worsening traffic congestion will also deliver
significant economic and social benefits
to the State of Penang over the long term.
The central premise of Penang State Government’s
strategy is simple – to achieve a public: private
transport modal share of 60:40 by the year 2030.
PTMP is a transport blueprint consisting of elevated
Light Rail Transit, Monorail, Bus Rapit Transit,
tram, catamaran, taxis and buses to meet Penang’s
long term needs.
The PTMP is the result of comprehensive
engagement with all stakeholder to obtain
valuable feedback and suggestions. It is a
master plan to guide planners, local councils
and stakeholders who are engaging in current
and future development planning of Penang.
In solving Penang’s transport problems, the
PTMP will also create significant economic
and employment benefits to Penang in a
sustainable manner through the proposed
creation of three reclaimed islands in the
southern coast of Penang Island.

PTMP REFLECTS THE PENANG
STATE GOVERMENT’S COMMITMENT TO:
• Mitigate worsening congestion
• Improve connectivity
• Improve Penang’s standard or living
and liveability
• Enhance Penang’s appeal as an ideal business and
leisure destination
The PTMP and its funding model – the Penang South Reclamation (PSR)
– combined forms a transformative development master plan that would
render Penang as the destination of choice for industry, business,
education, leisure and residence in the next 50 years.
As the State’s top development priority, the PTMP and PSR will keep
Penang’s economic engines humming, help move it up the value chain to
uplift the people’s income opportunities, realis Penang’s full growth
potential.
Key catalysts to Penang’s economic dynamism:
• Expansion of the 40-year-old Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone to
further enhance high-tech R&D, value-added manufacturing
and innovation
• Smart City – the future hub of Penang
• Economic benefits:

2-IN1 SOLUTION TO
PENANG’S CHALLENGES
PTMP and PSR addresses two
primary hurdles to Penang’s
continued successful development
as a thriving economic powerhouse
in the northern Peninsular
region, namely:
• Lack of good quality, readily
developable land for industrial
and commercial expansion,
and quality affordable homes
to house the growing
population.
• Deteriorating traffic
congestion from inadequate
infrastructure and transport
network.
• Haphazard and ad hoc
developments that threaten
the heritage charm of
Penang Island.

PLANNING & DELIVERY
The PTMP is designed under a 50-year planning
timeframe to cater to future travel demand
arising from Penang’s economic, tourism,
population and employment growth.
The aim is to provide a comprehensive
multi-modal integrated system to encourage
gradual shift towards the use of public transport,
while alleviating congestion on the existing road
networks.
The first project components identified with the
highest economic viability for delivery are the
Bayan Lepas LRT and the Pan Island Link 1.
Implementation of eachproject component
in PTMP will depend on its economic viability
and funding availability.
The scale and complexity of the PTMP and PSR
comes with it significant risk of delays and cost
overruns. To protect the public interest, the PTMP
and PSR projects will be implemented via the
Project Delivery Partner model to exclude the
delivery risk (time and cost) out of the projects.

BAYAN LEPAS LRT
PAN ISLAND LINK 1
The Bayan Lepas LRT will form the main north-south
rail backbone on Penang Island. As the first LRT
system in Penang, it provides direct airport transit
from Penang International Airport to major
destinations on Penang Island and terminates at the
future Penang South Reclamation (PSR) Smart City.
It will also have future connectivity to mainland
Penang through integration with the future
George Town-Butterworth LRT.
FACTS AND FIGURES
The Bayan Lepas LRT line will be served by a feeder
bus network within a 3-kilometre radius to ferry
commuters to and from the stations.
The Pan Island Link 1 (PIL 1) is a strategic alternative
bypass to alleviate heavy traffic load on the Tun Dr
Lim Chong Eu Expressway (LCE) and major adjacent
arterial roads.
Besides enhancing accessibility to major residential
and commercial hubs, PIL 1 opens up opportunities
for future land development on the western and
southern side of Penang Island.
FACTS AND FIGURES
PIL 1 is built around
the developed
periphery of George
Town, to disperse
traffic away from the
congested city centre
by segregating local
from regional traffic.

RECLAMATION
TIMEFRAME
The PSR reclamation project
will be carried out over a proposed
15-year period.
Island A Year 1 - 7
Island B Year 4 - 12
Island C Year 8 - 15
1. A new sustainable strategic hub to
decentralise development pressure away
from George Town.
2. The development will provide the
nucleus for:
- Provision of affordable housing close
to employment
- Space for industrial expansion next to the
Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone
- Land for green open space and
recreational purposes
- Create new cultural destinations
3. Better utilisation of existing and future
infrastructure:
- Penang 2nd Bridge
- Penang International Airport
- New Bayan Lepas LRT line
- New Pan Island Links
4. Facilitates jobs creation.
5 Moves industries up the value chain via
high-tech R&D and academic hub
through FDIs.
The PTMP will primarily be funded through the sale
of Penang South Reclamation (PSR) land.
Other forms of funding include monetising of land
made available by the State Government or
contributions from Government funding.
All PTMP components – including Bayan Lepas LRT and
PIL 1 Highway – will be implemented independently.
Work packages in each PTMP component & PSR
reclamation works will be tendered out via open tender.

FUTURE CITY FOR ALL
The reclaimed islands from PSR will be developed
into a Smart City, positioning the new southern
hub as the preferred destination for investors,
commerce and talent, while preserving the
sanctity of Penang’s heritage legacy in
George Town.
A future city envisioned for all, Smart City is
comprehensively masterplanned to provide the
right conditions that would shape the way of life
for Penangites in the coming years where efficient
transport is right in front of the doorstep and
places for employment or higher learning are
just a stone’s throw away.
Smart City not only enables a smarter way of
living for the people, but opens up new
opportunities identified under the National Key
Economic Areas (NKEAs) of Malaysia’s Economic
Transformation Programme benefiting the
development of the nation.
SMART CITY – A BETTER LIFE
• A greener and sustainable
living environment.
• Creates a competitive business &
industrial economy.
• Attract and retain talents.
• Affordable houses for the growing population.
