Taxi which will cost about RM18 per taxi to the city centre. Passengers can buy the taxi coupon from the taxi counter.

OR

Bus which costs RM1 to town. This will take you to the city centre. if you're unsure of where to stop, best bet would be to ask to be dropped off at the General Post Office.

For buses going to the outskirts of the city like to Bako , buses leave from Bus Stop no. 1 at Jln Market, opposite Elektra House . For those going to Semengoh, take the STC(Sarawak Transport Company) bus No 6, 6A, 6B, or 6C from opposite the Public Bank in town, on Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg

Taxi

Taxis in Kuching and the rest of Sarawak do not run on meters although all taxis have been installed with meters . So, before you get into a taxi, negotiate with them. taxi fare in borneo is not cheap. If you insist on having a metered ride, the drivers will normally not feel happy about it but if you feel strongly, do enforce your rights.

Minivans

There are minivans that ply the routes in and around kuching. The fares are generally a little more expensive than the buses and for those plying the outskirts, passengers may have to wait until the vans fill up before leaving.
