Public buses also serve the airport, providing a budget-friendly option, though they are less frequent and can be slower. Car rentals are available at the airport for those who prefer to drive themselves. Taxis and Grab are the most-used options due to their convenience and fixed or metered fares, with the ride taking around 15–20 minutes depending on traffic.",
