The taxi journey from airport to center in Brunei will take about 20 minutes. Although it is only a short distance of 4 kilometers to get to the city center, you may need to pay around 25 Brunei Dollars in a taxi. Despite the short distance in between, the high taxi prices tend to lead visitors to use buses instead of taxis at the airport. However, when considering the options of taking the bus, you should remember that these affordable vehicles only operate between morning hours and 18:00.
Bus
To travel to the city center for cheaper from Brunei International Airport, you can use the buses that transit passengers for just a few Brunei Dollars.
