Getting there/away: The airport is 7km away from the city.
A shuttle bus leaves approximately every hour and drops passengers off at the Wawasan Center south of downtown KK.
You can also catch minibuses along the main road away from the airport. Minibus No. 17 (KK-Putatan buses) will bring you to the city.
Taxis (you have to buy a coupon) are also available. The standard rate from the airport to the city is RM30 (as of July 2010). There is a 50% surcharge from 11:00 PM - 6:00 AM. Walking into town from the airport is possible if you like walking and have an hour or two to spare. Pick up a city map in the airport terminal, and you won't have any problem finding your way. You can also stop by the Sabah State Mosque on the way.
If you're arriving at Terminal 2, you can either wait for the bus that is rumoured to go to the terminal once every hour or so, or you can walk the 400m out to the main road and flag a bus on that road, which passes more frequently.
Whichever bus you manage to flag, it will cost less than RM 5 to get to the bus depot on the edge of Kota Kinabalu city proper, which is next to the Wawasan Plaza shopping centre and just about a walk from everywhere else.
