Taxi Service





Name: Fung Shui Phin
Address: Jalan Gaya,
Kota Kinabalu Sabah
Phone: 088-221 978


Taxis are plentiful and run at all hours, you can flag them down anywhere it is legal for them to stop. They also congregate around busy areas like hotels, shopping centers and the harbor area. They are usually using Protons sedans with sufficient luggage space. They used to be white on red (older ones still are), but you see ever more solid red one, blue ones and even yellow ones.
Legally, taxis can only carry 4 passengers (1 in front and 3 in the back) and are fined if they are caught carrying more, so don't bother begging for your party of 5 to be taken in one taxi (small children are the exception). They are all air conditioned. Between midnight and 6am, taxis are more expensive and you can usually expect to pay the meter (or normal price) plus 50%.
