• CAT stands for Central Area Transit and is a free shuttle bus service offered by Rapid Penang, the public bus operator in Penang
• This bus is good for getting around the most central/historic part of George Town, there are many interesting attractions that it does not serve, like Penang Hill, Gurney Drive, Kek Lok Si
• The route starts and ends at the Weld Quay Bus Terminal next to the Pangkalan Raja Tun Uda ferry terminal that connects George Town with Butterworth on the mainland
• Bus runs clockwise from Weld Quay Bus Terminal. First bus departs a 6:00 in the morning and last bus departs at 23:40 at night
• Frequency of the bus is every 20-30 minutes
