Ride‑share services like Grab and metered taxis are widely available and offer door‑to‑door convenience, while driving yourself is possible but parking fills up quickly. The taxi or ride‑share is generally the fastest and most popular choice, but the shuttle bus is a cheaper alternative if you’re near its route.",
