In Bangkok, when I was just on my own, I often used the scooter taxis. They are super fast and way cheaper than a car. The scooters can zip through the streets and in between cars in traffic, and it’s a thrill ride. It’s perfect for getting you exactly where you need to go, solving the first and last mile of your journey. It was an adventure all on its own and a super cool way to travel around the city!

Usually from train stations to the apartment, it would cost me about 20 baht (0.58 USD) and longer journeys are usually 2-3x less than the equivalent journey in a car and it takes much less time as they can zip between cars in heavy traffic.
