Butterworth residents are advocating for the federal and Penang governments to give precedence to a proposed cross-channel LRT rail link, which would connect the mainland to the island, over a solely island-based LRT system. This initiative is driven by the need for improved transportation infrastructure and reduced traffic congestion. By prioritizing this project, residents hope to enhance their daily commutes and boost the local economy. With the use of modern light rail technology, this cross-channel link is expected to increase efficiency and reduce travel times, making it an attractive solution for residents and businesses alike. Key considerations include LRT system integration, public transportation development, and urban planning.
