Ride-hailing apps and taxis provide the fastest door-to-door service for a higher cost, while driving yourself and parking at the airport is convenient but typically the most expensive choice for longer stays. There are also complimentary airport shuttles linking terminals, rental cars, and nearby lots. For most travelers, the Route 992 bus or the Flyer shuttle is the best balance of speed, cost, and frequency.",
