All four malls are accessible on the bus. Check the schedule for routes and times. When you shop in the mall, always look for the SALE racks. The customer does not bargain with the sales clerk. An exception to this is on purchases made directly from a private individual or when buying large, expensive items such as cars or houses and some large electronic items, such as video cameras, TV, etc.
