Chinese police have cracked down on an Internet craze that saw thousands of cyclists throng a highway under cover of night to gorge on dumplings in a nearby city.

GEORGE TOWN: Penang will be the second state after Kuala Lumpur to implement the bus lane trial project to see its feasibility and cut down on travel time, especially during peak hours, in a bid to improve the level of public transport service.

"The implementation of this bus lane trial project is from the Jalan Ria/Jalan Dr Lim Chwee Leong junction until Jalan Ria/Jalan Magazine, which is about 200 metres ; from Jalan Penang/Jalan Magazine/Jalan Datuk Keramat junction until Jalan Penang/Jalan Burma ; and from Jalan Penang/Lebuh Chulia until Jalan Penang/Jalan Dr Lim Chwee Leong .

He said the only vehicles allowed to use the bus lanes are public buses, tour buses, taxis and emergency vehicles. He said traffic congestion in Penang has had a big impact on the efficiency of Rapid Penang's bus services, with buses arriving late at every stop and terminal.
