Fare
A new fare structure took place beginning August 2009 in line with the government's announcement to improve the delivery system of public transportation services. However, it was heavily criticised by Penang DAP Socialist Youth (Dapsy) secretary Ng Wei Aik who hit out at Rapid Penang for insisting on a price hike when the service provided was not up to mark.
