00:00 Penang's newest ferry service began on Monday
00:05 with the arrival of Teluk Kambi and the Raja Tun Uda Ferry Terminal
00:09 on the island carrying its first batch of pedestrians and two wheelers.
00:28 Chief Minister Chow Kwan Yew was on board the ferry from the Sultan Abdul Halim Terminal on the mainland
00:34 and said the 10-minute ride is ideal for commuters going to work
00:38 with rapid Penang buses waiting outside the terminal.
00:42 He said the new service is definitely more efficient and comfortable than the iconic ferries
00:48 with the total makeover reflecting the modern era of sea travel.
00:53 The ferries will operate from 6.30am to 9.30pm every day
00:58 and rides will be free for a month until September 6.
01:02 Three ferries will be operating daily with one on standby.
01:07 Other than Teluk Kambi, the other three ferries are Teluk Pahang, Teluk Duyung and Teluk Kumbar.
