There are a few modes of transportation other than taking the bus.

You should consider based on your point of departure and also according to your own convenience as well as comfort.

So far the best travel and shopping experience I had was through hiring a private car service.

I can shop at ease knowing that I do not have to worry in lugging my shopping bags around and I can just rest my tired legs on the way back to Singapore.

My favourite private car company would no doubt be SGMYTAXI as they provide the easiest and most comfortable transportation service.
