GEORGE TOWN– The Penang Hill Corporation (PHC) launched a special edition fast lane ticket service to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Penang Hill Railway.
The general manager of Penang Hill Corporation, Datuk Cheok Lay Leng said the special edition fast lane ticket service was launched to provide a memorable souvenir for tourists.
“Tourists usually like to keep souvenirs from a popular tourist destination. Since they pay a premium price, we would want them to have something special to take back with them.
“Thus, in conjunction with Penang Hill Railway’s 100th anniversary, we would like to do something special for tourists by providing them a special edition ticket to take back with them,” he told reporters at the launch of the Penang Hill Railway’s 100th anniversary by Penang State Exco for Tourism and Creative Economy, Yeoh Soon Hin today.
Meanwhile, when asked about the funicular train service maintenance, Cheok said that there will be daily, weekly and monthly maintenance.
“We want to minimise the funicular train service disruption, but it is also subjected to unexpected circumstances,” he said.
He added that if any service disruption occurred, an immediate diagnosis will be done and measures will be taken to resume the funicular train service.
