The taxi motor bike, as its name suggests, is a motor bike you can reserve in advance to move from your home to the airport or conversely. This means of transport's advantage is the saved travel time and its disadvantage is it is only practical for lone travelers without checked baggage, a carry-on luggage can be tolerated with a handbag or a computer.

A VTC is a private car with driver who provides similar services to the taxis and the two are more and more in competition. Note that it is mandatory to book it in advance, because VTCs are prohibited from taking a client 'on the go'. The price is slightly higher and you have to pay the waiting time at the airport.
