Kuching's Public Transportation

Kuching ART
The Future of Travel: Kuching ART

The city is currently on the verge of a transport revolution with the upcoming Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS)

  • Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART): This is a cutting edge, hydrogen powered transit system that uses virtual tracks instead of traditional steel rails. As of April 2026, construction is in full swing with stations rising across the city. The first production vehicles are arriving mid year, and pilot operations for the Blue Line (connecting Samarahan to the city fringe) are targeted to begin by the end of 2026.

  • Hydrogen Feeder Buses: To support the new system, a fleet of zero-emission hydrogen buses is being introduced. These are designed to bridge the gap between the upcoming ART stations and residential areas, finally providing a more seamless way to travel without a car.

Kuching brings you back on memory lane

Kuching is the vibrant and historic capital of Sarawak, made up of a unique blend of heritage architecture, modern infrastructure, and deep cultural roots that span both sides of the Sarawak River.

In the Central district, you can walk along the scenic waterfront to see the iconic Darul Hana Bridge and visit the historic Main Bazaar or the world-class Sarawak Museum Discovery Centre.

To the north, across the river, you will find the grand Astana and Fort Margherita along with the colourful Malay kampungs that offer a glimpse into traditional river life.

The South of the city is dominated by the bustling commercial hubs of Padungan and the Sarawak General Hospital area, while the East leads you towards the industrial and residential zones of Pending and the gateway to the Bako National Park.

Heading west, the landscape opens up towards the heritage town of Batu Kawa and the beautiful limestone formations of the Bau district, ensuring that every direction from the city centre offers a new and fascinating part of the Sarawakian experience.
