1. My Location and Easy Access to the University

The first surprise for me was the strategic location of the university. Asia Pacific University (APU) is situated in the heart of the city, making it incredibly convenient to reach. Whether I used public transportation or ride-hailing apps, I always found plenty of accessible and hassle-free options.

2. Public Transport: A Cost-Effective and Easy Option

Initially, I relied on public transportation and found it very efficient:

LRT (Light Rail Transit):
The train station is very close to the university, and I often used it for quick and smooth commutes. The train rides were comfortable, especially when avoiding peak traffic hours.

Public Buses:
Whenever I needed to go to other places outside the university, buses were an economical and practical choice.

Ride-Hailing Apps:
Apps like Grab were always available and easy to use, especially for late-night returns to my accommodation.

3. University Transportation Services

Over time, I started benefiting from the transportation services provided by the university itself:

University Shuttle Buses:
This service was extremely helpful, particularly when I needed to travel between the campus and student accommodations. The buses were comfortable and covered multiple areas.

Special Event Transportation:
During events or off-campus activities, the university always provided us with well-organized and convenient transport options.

4. Bicycles as an Eco-Friendly Option

I also began using a bicycle on some days, especially when the weather was nice. The university offers secure and dedicated parking spaces for bicycles, which encouraged me to adopt this healthy and eco-friendly habit.

5. Overall Experience

What makes the transportation experience here remarkable is the variety of options and the ease of mobility. I never faced any major issues reaching the university or moving around the city. Moreover, the services provided by the university show a great deal of care for students’ comfort and convenience, saving us time and effort.
