Public buses serve the city and surrounding areas, and the airport can be reached via major roads like Jalan Kepayan, Jalan Lintas, and Jalan Putatan, but no dedicated airport shuttle bus is mentioned in the available information. Driving yourself is also possible, with parking at the airport, though costs for taxis and ride-shares are moderate compared to the cheaper public bus fare.",
