Hi all,
I will be relocating to Penang due to work soon and now I am considering if I can or should stay in the island because of traffic. My work place is in kulim hi tech park and if I stay in the island I should reach the bridge before 7am and in evening after work I will probably reach bridge around 630pm to 7pm. Will this be a problem with traffic as I see some bros mention that this direction traffic is not so bad. Is this true? Would appreciate for any advise to be given and thanks in advance

QUOTE(oe_kintaro @ Feb 2 2022, 08:55 PM) Not as bad as living on the mainland and commuting to the island for work. You are generally moving in the opposite direction of peak traffic, but you do need to get a feel of your specific route and get used to getting up early. Well, I am used to waking up early in morning so that’s not a issue to me. I believe morning travel will be good for me but it’s the evening part going from mainland to island I am most worried. Distance wise I believe it will be around 40km but it’s not really far if don’t get stuck too long in the bridge  |

QUOTE(kevyeoh @ Feb 2 2022, 09:10 PM) In general it is still ok as you will always be in the opposite direction of heavy traffic... morning time u will see ppl jam from mainland to island and going back time vice versa. But one thing you cannot avoid is the travel time is still 40 or 45 mins at least (one way) depending where u stay at island side and that could mean you will spend at least 1.5 hrs on the road daily. Also when got accident on the bridge, then good luck as well. If you are renting a place only then ok la. Try first and if too long commuting time then you can consider rent a place at kulim lo... Hmmm…. 40-45mins per way should be still reasonable mah. I have been working long time in China probably that’s why I think it’s still ok for me as travel time here is generally around that also. The problem with not wanting to stay in mainland is I am worried about not convenient in terms of living and standard compared to island. Or if anyone has any good recommendation in mainland that is somehow comparable to island? Maybe is should rent first and see how it goes |

Oppsss, I will most likely be using the Penang bridge as I am looking to stay at queens waterfront where it’s more convenient. Using the 2nd bridge will be too far. Will Penang bridge be same in terms of jam for the direction I am using?
