To get around the central Georgetown area, there are free buses that ply the city regularly. Known as the CAT service. CAT for Central Area Transit.
The info on the buses will clearly display CAT signage at the front, side and back.
The nearest stop to hop on the CAT service from St Giles Wembley hotel is at Komtar bus station, that is just a short walk across the road.
