Renaming to Penang ferry service

@JamesBWatson:, correct me if I am wrong, but WP:NAMECHANGES states that if the sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match, and that if the subject of an article has a name change, it is reasonable to consider the usage following the change in reliable, English language sources. Looking at the news reports about Rapid Ferry here, here and here, the service was transferred to Prasarana in 2017 and the name Rapid Ferry is currently in use (there is also a page on Rapid Ferry in the Prasarana website). Please enlighten me on the rationale behind the renaming to the Penang Ferry Service, because officially speaking, the service is named Rapid Ferry.

@Vnonymous: You appear to be right. Sources I saw gave me the impression that the name "Rapid Ferry" had been in use only for a short time and then discontinued, but the sources you have linked to paint a different picture. Thanks for the correction. (However, asking me about it and making the change without waiting for my answer might not have been the most logical way to do it.)
