Taxis and ride-hailing services like Grab and Gojek are readily available at designated stands, offering door-to-door convenience in about an hour depending on traffic; they are the most popular overall for their balance of cost and ease. Car rentals are available but less practical for short city stays due to traffic and parking challenges. Most visitors use ride-hailing apps for flexibility and competitive fares."
