Frequent airport shuttle and intercity buses also run directly to Sapporo city center and other Hokkaido destinations, offering a comfortable ride at a lower cost than the train. Taxis and ride-share services are available but are less commonly used for the airport trip due to the higher price, while driving yourself is feasible with parking lots at the airport, though parking fees add to the cost.",
