Taking a bus is convenient because one of the bus departure points in Penang is at Prangin Mall Komtar Georgetown. Most hotels, food, and attractions are concentrated here in Georgetown, therefore the departure location is convenient for passengers taking the bus from Penang to KL. On the other hand, taking a flight or train from Penang to KL is less convenient in terms of departure points. This is because the airport is located about 20 minutes driving distance away from Georgetown and the nearest train station in Penang is at Butterworth, which is again about 20 minutes driving distance away from Georgetown.
Another advantage of taking a bus instead of flight is that check-in time for a bus is usually 30 minutes before departure, whereas check-in time for a flight is always 2 hours before departure. Even though it is faster to travel by flight, many passengers prefer a bus to flight because the total duration for a bus trip from Penang to KL is faster, after considering the earlier check-in time at Penang Airport and traveling time from KLIA 2 to KL city or from Subang Airport to KL city when taking a flight.
Last but not least, taking a bus is more comfortable than taking flight because of the fully reclining seat and air-conditioned environment.
