The Tanjong Tokong line, also spelt as the Tanjung Tokong line, is a proposed light rail transit or monorail system in Penang. The 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) line is planned to connect George Town's city centre with its northern suburb of Tanjong Tokong. The line will have eight stations, with potential extensions towards Tanjong Bungah and Batu Ferringhi.[1]
The line is a component of the Penang Transport Master Plan, and will interchange with the under-construction Mutiara line and proposed Ayer Itam line. Along with the Mutiara line, the line may be part of the northern end of Penang's first light rail transit alignment from Bayan Lepas to Tanjong Bungah.[2]
Following the federal takeover of the Mutiara line, the Tanjong Tokong line is planned to be incorporated into a future extension of the Mutiara line.[3]
