BTS for Sukhumvit/Silom corridor — Grab can sit 45 min rush. Crowded but predictable 6am–midnight. Rabbit card saves queue. Grab fine after 10am and after 8pm.

Cross-town to Old Town: MRT + boat beats road. Orange line expanding — check maps.

Learned hard way — one Grab took 70 min Thong Lo to Grand Palace. Never again morning.
