Recommendation
The most efficient travel mode would be by air, given the shorter duration despite the layover. For a road trip, it’s a scenic option for those who enjoy driving. If you are on a budget, taking the bus is the most economical choice but will take significantly longer. Choose based on your priorities of time, cost, and comfort.
