KOTA KINABALU 2

The most efficient way to get into town from the airport is via taxi. The cars line up outside the arrival hall and are supposed to use a coupon system-look for the coupon sales and taxi-booking counter close by. You'll pay about RM 12 (US$3.I0) for a trip to town. On my last trip, 1 noticed the drivers trying to wave me over to negotiate a ride without the ticket counter middleman. I didn't go chat them up, but I'm pretty sure they would have quoted me a higher rate if I had.

GETTING AROUND In the downtown area, you can get around quite easily on foot between hotels, restaurants, tour operators, markets, and the tourism office. For longer trips, a taxi will be necessary. They're easy enough to find cruising the town, or you can go to one of the regular stands around town-the most centrally located one at Jalan Datuk Saleh Sulong between Jalan Haji Saman and Jalan Pantai. I suggest you talk to your hotel concierge before you head out to ask how much you should expect to pay for your particular destination.

FAST FACTS You'll find your banks conveniently located in the downtown area around Jalan Limabclas and along Jalan Gaya and Jalan Pantai. The post office (088/210-855) is on Jalan Tun Razak. Look for Internet at K. K. Internet on Jalan Haji Saman across from Wisma Merdeka 088/235-219).
