Just get the uber app and plot the trip around the time you’re thinking to check the price

I'd use the circulator bus for getting around the mall. Everything is much further apart than most expect. (edit added)

They have scooters you can rent. Makes the mall much easier to navigate.

Uber could run you about $50 each way. Lyft will probably be cheaper. Either way
