I went to Sutera Sanctuary Lodges office here in Kota Kinabalu couple of days back, to help on one of our fellow climbers on his accommodation in Menggilan Hostel, Kinabalu Park. After settling the matter, the receptionist handed me a bus schedule that SSL provide for travelers who would like them to help on transportation to Kinabalu Park, Mesilau and Poring Hot Springs. This would be the latest schedule:

For reservation, kindly contact:
Central Administrative & Sales Office
G15, Ground Floor, Wisma Sabah,
88000 Kota Kinabalu Sabah
Tel : 088-2248629/257059
Please contact them directly, at least one day in advance, so that they could prepare and arrange your transport properly.
For example: If you plan to take the bus from Kota Kinabalu (from SSL office) to Kinabalu Park, you have to arrive in Kota Kinabalu airport at least at 8.30am, so that you can still have time to travel from the airport to Wisma Sabah where SSL is.
Or, if you plan to take a bus from Kinabalu Park back to Kota Kinabalu, you have to arrive at Timpohon Gate at 2.30pm, where you could board the bus at 3.30pm from Kinabalu Park.
For Poring Hot Springs and Mesilau, just check their departure time.
You might be interested to know that SSL have finally made their shuttle service useful (again) by now departing at 7am.
The price stays the same, but with the earlier schedule at least you can make it to the park in time to climb, as well as go for a day-trip if you fancy.

Hi I saw that largest flower, Rafflesia arnoldii which was huge and around more or less 1 meter in its diameter. Then I had gone for Canopy Walk which was hypothetical to be a track walking path. Then the 2 different waterfalls. Bathe within the Japanese-fashion baths. I took a look at Butterfly Farm.
