Penang’s water taxi plan still pending Putrajaya’s approval, says exco

GEORGE TOWN, April 8 — The Penang state government has plans to implement water taxis as part of its Penang Transport Master Plan but it was unable to do so without approval from the Ministry of Transport , said city councillor Nurhafiza Huda Idris.

“We have written to the ministry to consider and approve our plan to call for an open tender through request for proposal to implement water taxis in Penang,” she said. “It has been more than six months, MBPP is yet to receive any response or approval to hold any discussions on this programme from the MOT,” she said.
