BAS MY Kuching Bus Routes In More Detail

bas.my kuching route map Q01

Bus Route Q01 - Open Air Market to Malilah

This route is off the tourist beaten track and there is not a great deal to interest the sightseer. Having said that, there is an impressive and 'grammable' Taoist temple on the edge of Malihah. H&L Malihah would be the closest bus stop.

Bus Route Q05 - Saujana to SMK Agama Matang 2

This bus will take you to Kubah National Park (the nearest stop is Family Park). It also stops at Taman Jubilee Mas Recreation park (a pretty area but a rather run-down picnic spot).

route map Q06

Bus Route Q06 - Saujana to Kampung Benuk

This bus can take you to various hospitals and shopping malls. In terms of tourist attractions, it stops outside the Pitcher Plant Garden, Padawan (stop called Opposite SJK Chung Hua Batu 10) and also the Semenggoh Nature Reserve which is the best place to see orangutans within easy reach of Kuching. A more quirky landmark on this bus route is the Rajah Charles Brooke Memorial Hospital which was originally opened as a leper settlement during the reign of Sarawak's second Rajah. It has historical significance but it is still a working hospital so not really a tourist attraction.

Bus Route Q07 - Saujana to SJKC Hua Batu Kawa

This route begins by following the route of Kuching's old 10 mile long railway line which operated on and off between 1915 - 1947. The tracks are long gone. Take this bus to visit the Youth and Sports Complex (Kompleks Belia Sukan). If you want to visit Batu Kawa Riverbank Park you should alight at Batu Kawa Commercial Centre.

route map Q08

Bus Route Q08 - Open Air Market to Terminal Bas Bau

This route goes to the popular tourism attraction of Bau via KBS Buddhist Village (Buddhist Village stop) and Paku Rock Maze Garden (SMK Paku stop. In Bau town, the bus stops near St. Stephen's Church before arriving at the Bus Terminal in the middle of town. On the way back to Kuching the bus passes by the heritage village of Siniawan but oddly does not seem to stop there.

route map Q09

Bus Route Q09 - Open Air Market to Muara Tebas

This is the bus to take for the popular destinations of Bako National Park and the interesting village of Muara Tebas. For Bako National Park you should get off at the Terminal Bako stop which is right in front of the National Parks Boat Ticketing Office.

route map Q10

Bus Route Q10 - Open Air Market to Serian

This is a relatively long distance route, around 60km each way. In Kuching the route stops near The Spring shopping mall and opposite Vivacity shopping mall (though I'm not sure how you are supposed to cross a busy six lane highway to enter the mall in the absence of a pedestrian bridge)! If you want to go to Jong's Crocodile Farm & Zoo you should alight at SJK Chung Hua Siburan. It's a 10 minute (1km) walk from the bus stop. There is a bus stop on the other side of the road for your return journey. Ranchan Recreational Park and Waterfall is a short 8 minute Grab/taxi ride from Serian Bus Terminal.
