Transportation from the City Center to Brunei International Airport
Brunei or Brunei Dar es Salaam is a sultanate located on the tropical island of Borneo. The country's only land border is with Malaysia. Oil and natural gas are among the sources of income, and tourism is just developing. Brunei International Airport is the only airport in Brunei, one of the richest countries in the world.
Although Brunei is a small country, it provides very good public transport to the airport. Six different lines (buses 23, 24, 34, 36, 38 and 57) passing through the city center stop at the stop in front of the airport parking lot and drop off and pick up passengers.
The flights start at 06:00 in the morning and continue until 00:00 at midnight. Although the buses seem to leave every 30 minutes on paper, in practice, the intervals are often longer. Therefore, if you are going to use the bus, you should make your plan accordingly. You can pay the ticket price to the driver in cash only and in full. The journey time to the airport after the bus departs is approximately 30 minutes.
You can take a taxi from anywhere in the city center where you find an available taxi, or you can request a taxi to your hotel through your hotel's reception. The distance between the city center and the airport is approximately 10 km and it takes an average of 15 minutes by passenger cars to cover this distance.
Another option is to use the Dart App, an Uber-like transportation app often used in Brunei.

Unlike many airports in the world, there is no office of any car rental company at the airport here. If you have rented a car and it is time to deliver it, you should choose the airport as the pick-up point.
Since there is no such taxi office at the airport, you should make your plans according to the possibility that your work may be extended. It is worth remembering that in Brunei, traffic flows from the opposite side, that is, to the left. For this reason, you should be very careful both while waiting for the vehicle and when crossing the street.
