点评:Cheapest way to get to the Penang train station in Butterworth: Penang ferry from Jeti: 2Rm. Most expensive way to get there: Grab + bridge toll. 60Rm plus depending on point of origin and time of day.
If you're encumbered, watch out. While most of the walkway from the ferry is both covered and smooth, some of it slopes upwards. There's a small section where you are obliged to carry your luggage up some stairs.
To get from the walkway to the platform level, there's a small lift, and when I say small, it doesn't hold more than 8 people with luggage and is weight sensitive.
There isn't anywhere to get a proper coffee or pick up food for lunch, so plan and take your lunch/snacks with you. There are some very unhealthy snack stalls along the way.
There are two ticket machines next to the barriers for last minute tickets (no discount) and there is scant and uncomfortable seating in the waiting area at the barrier. There is no help desk, and no-one to answer questions, so it's best to buy your tickets on-line to avoid queues and confusion!
The entry gate goes both ways (it serves as both entry and exit for arriving and departing passengers), so you're not allowed to enter the barrier before your train is announced and arriving passengers clear the barriers.
There are two little feet to tell you where to stand and present your QR code (app, photo or paper ticket). If you get too close, the barrier won't open.
If you're in a group, ensure all adults have their own QR ticket code so someone ahead of them doesn't scan their ticket by mistake.
翻译:前往北海槟城火车站最便宜的方式:从码头(Jeti)乘坐槟城渡轮,票价2令吉。最贵的方式:使用Grab打车并支付过桥费,费用为60令吉以上,具体费用取决于出发地点和出发时间。
如果您携带行李,请注意安全。虽然从渡轮到火车站的大部分通道都有遮挡且路面平坦,但部分路段是上坡的。有一小段路需要您扛着行李上楼梯。
从通道到站台层有一个小型电梯,但需要注意的是,它最多只能容纳8人及行李,并且对重量有限制。
沿途没有像样的咖啡馆或餐馆,所以请提前计划好并自带午餐/零食。沿途有一些不太健康的零食摊位。
闸机旁有两个售票机,可以购买临时车票(无折扣)。闸机候车区的座位很少,而且不太舒适。这里没有服务台,也没有人可以解答疑问,所以最好在线购票,以免排队和造成混乱!
入口闸机是双向的(既是到达乘客的入口,也是出发乘客的出口),因此在您的列车开始广播且到达乘客通过闸机之前,您不得进入闸机。
闸机上有两只小脚指示您站立的位置,并请您出示二维码(可以是应用程序二维码、照片二维码或纸质车票)。如果您靠得太近,闸机将不会打开。
如果您是团体出行,请确保每位成年人都有自己的二维码车票,以免前面的人误扫他们的车票。
