About Funicular Service Penang Hill
The Funicular Service is the main and most popular mode of transport to the summit of Penang Hill. The Penang Hill Railway is one of the oldest funicular systems in the world, but it has been completely modernized. Today, visitors ride in comfortable, air-conditioned, Swiss-made carriages that glide swiftly up one of the steepest railway gradients in the world. The journey from the Lower Station in Air Itam to the Upper Station at the summit takes only about five minutes.
The ride itself is a key part of the Penang Hill experience, offering spectacular, changing views of the city and the dense, tropical rainforest as the train makes its steep ascent. This efficient and scenic service is an engineering marvel that carries millions of passengers to the top of the hill each year.
