Taxis are readily available outside the terminal and are the most-used option, offering a quick 15–20 minute ride. Ride-hailing apps like Grab also operate, providing a reliable and often cheaper alternative. Public buses run to the city center but are less frequent and slower. Car rentals are not common for short transfers, so taxi or ride-hail is generally best.",
