Penang Port Sdn Bhd (PPSB) will stop its Friday to Saturday 24-hour ferry service between Penang and Butterworth beginning April 16.
PPSB in a statement here on Wednesday said the decision was taken following the 24-hour service no longer being profitable with the company accumulating losses of RM2.3 million thus far.
The company, however, said the Friday to Saturday service would continue to operate but follow the hours of the other days in the week.
At the island end (Raja Tun Uda jetty) the ferry hours are from 5.40am till 1am while at the opposite end (Sultan Abdul Halim jetty in Butterworth) it is from 5.20am till 12.40am.
If really not many users after the midnight, then I will support this move. Better save some resources than paying workers to sleep or do nothing, correct?
