Several airport shuttle buses also run from major points like Wulinmen and Hangzhou East Railway Station, offering a comfortable ride with slightly longer travel time. Taxis and ride‑sharing services are widely available and provide door‑to‑door convenience, though they cost more and are subject to traffic. Driving yourself is possible with parking at the airport, but the new elevated expressway helps reduce congestion.",
