Singapore to Penang Bus Guide
Bus to Penang
Bus from Singapore to Penang is one of most economical transportation options to travel to Penang for famous Penang food and UNESCO World Heritage Site Georgetown. Though budget airlines have been in the market for years, the service of bus to Penang survives even though passengers need to travel about 10 hours by bus.
One of the reasons is that the airline ticket from SIN to PEN is much more expensive than bus ticket (unless you get it during limited promotion period). Another reason is that travellers can always take night bus to Penang. By the time you wake up in the morning, you are already in the beautiful Penang Island. Some of the attractions in Penang include Georgetown, Penang Hill, Kek Lok Si and many more.

Grassland, Seasons Express and Billionstar are the few coach companies providing bus from Singapore to Penang. Grassland is the famous brand among the locals with its consistent quality service in the past 30 years. Seasons Express and Billionstar are the new players who strong base in Penang.
Duration, Fare, Stops, and Notes
The journey duration is about 10 hours as mentioned above. With BusOnlineTicket.com, you can find a great deal with the best price for you to travel to Penang. The bus fare is in the range of SGD 33.00 - SGD 75.00, which much cheaper than SIN to PEN airline ticket that usually costs around SGD 150.00 - SGD 200.00 during weekend. It is always better to book tickets in advance to avoid disappointment, due to limited trip daily from Singapore to Penang.
The departure point for bus going to Penang in Singapore is at Golden Mile Complex, except Qistna Express which departs from Little India Arcade. Meanwhile, the arrival points in Penang include several drop off points along the journey at places like Juru Toll and Butterworth, before terminating at Sungai Nibong Bus Terminal.

I think the bus operator gets a bad rep because people don’t know what to expect. If Billion Stars were honest about how their trips are structured, I believe there would be less complaints.

Convenient and connectivity to public transport. However, should have a sign to indicate KKKL bus waiting area and which bus and departure ETD be good instead of checking on each bus that arrives at the berth.
