The news was announced by Uber on their Facebook page last Friday.
Uber, the latest in the ride sharing scene has caused a lot of buzz here in Malaysia. Awhile back, we published a story that addressed the legality of the application. Don't sweat it, Uber is legal in Malaysia.

Unlike in KL and Johor, only one vehicle option is currently available in Penang due to the lack of drivers. So, bear in mind Penangnites, your waiting time may be longer.
The base fare for each ride is RM2. Uber charges at RM0.35 every minute and RM0.70 per kilometre.
