How much is the taxi fare for the trip from ferry terminal to Hard Rock Hotel? Does the RapidPenang 102 still stop at Hard Rock Hotel now? Need help. Urgent!

estimated around 1hour, but normally less than that. But to be safe, should allocate 1hours or more.
There's 2 Rapid bus heading toward airport, 1 of it is express, direct to the airport.
*
I think the express one is 401A. However, they already terminated that route. The other two - 401 and 401E will stop at many stations before arriving at the airport. Right, to be safe, I'll leave 1 hour earlier from what I had planned.

Plenty good food along that street and the side streets like Cintra St.  At the junction of Leboh Carnarvon and Chulia St., there are many stalls that opens at night on the street. I like the 'Kway Teow Th'ng there. There's also a nice nasi kandar at the junction with Penang Street (not Penang Road). There is a good beef noodle at the coffee shop in front of the Bomba  at the junction of Beach St. I think you should walk along those streets, Campbell  St. where Hemeediah ( most famous for it's nasi bryani ) is.  Cintra St. also has many good 'makan' In fact Line Clear nasi kandar is just at the start of Chulia Street. I don't think you will be able to actually savour all the good food on that street. Be adventurous and walk around that area. icon_rolleyes.gif

Wow... This sounds great cause I just booked Chulia Heritage Hotel for my BF visit.

Anyone here from Penang? I would like to know if bus service frequency stated at RapidPenang website is reliable?

Not really that accurate. DO NOT use the bus if you're in a rush. I usually wait for the bus 1 hour earlier from my ETA to reach my destination.

At the airport just ask the bus driver if any bus going to Pragin Mall, if not you have to take the bus to komtar bus station to take the bus that pry Pragin Mall. At komtar bus station you can go to anywhere in Penang island. There are also free shuttle bus there so just check it out at komtar bus station, you won't get lost.

Actually, he/she can just walk to Prangin Mall from Komtar. It's basically very near or next to one another.
