Penang Hill Local Plan recommends maximum capacity of 10000 people/day

According to the Penang Hill Local Plan, the recommended maximum carrying capacity of the hill is 10000 people daily – a threshold that has been hit or even exceeded during peak periods with the expanded capacity of the Penang Hill Railway following the controversial decision for the track to bypass the Middle Station.

If cable cars are introduced, even more people will throng the hill, pushing the figure well beyond 10000/day. So no escape from the madding crowd for some peace and serenity then.

This is from the Local Plan:

Doesn’t sound logical. Seems somebody just do the stupid math without using their common sense. 100 person per hec? In stupid math wise, it is sparse, but only possible if you can spread the people to inaccessible area, e.g. roof top, cliff, top of tree,etc. Minus those inaccessible area, the density will surge to 10 times or perhaps 100 times. Try the 4W1H : Where is the people come from? Where they park their transport? When is the time people flock to the hill? When people will go to the hill in mass? What kind of transport people will use,… Read more »
