Tanah Rata to Penang Destination Reviews

Fantastic trip! We were worried about the roads after reading other reviews but we had a very comfortable trip to George town from Cameron Highlands. We stopped for a toilet break half way and the driver and staff were friendly and helpful. The bus arrived half an hour early and departed on time. I would advise you to go and speak to the person with the clipboard as the bus didn't have any information on it and the guy with the clipboard didn't approach anyone we had to go to him after sitting waiting for around 20 mins, we decided to ask him and it was our bus. Beyond this minor thing, it was a fantastic trip!!

Great way to get from Cameron Highlands to Penang. Just be aware of the bus only stopped at one stop, because of the toilet with no possibility to buy food. If you are planning to visit George town it is great to get to Sentral Bus station and from there take the ferry to George town.

Instead of Butterworth, the busstop was at the Penang Island. Back to Butterworth would take 45min or so? So please check before enter bus where the busdriver will take you. And yes we had tickets to directly Butterworth.
