You do not see taxi moving about in search of customers in Kota Kinabalu city, you will instead find them parked in clusters outside hotels and shopping complexes. Also they do not use the meters to calculate the charges (although many have meters installed for a long time, but it is never required by law to use them), you have to bargain with the taxi drivers before boarding their vehicles.
