I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.
