How can I commute within Cameron highlands?

Since Ubers and ridesharing options are not available aplenty here, renting a scooter or a car is the best option to get around Cameron Highlands. Take along an offline map as internet connectivity may be unreliable in hilly regions. Taxis are available in the city centre and other prominent areas only, and are uncommon in reclusive areas. We recommend hiring the same taxi and fixing an hourly rate to cover every destination at one shot, instead of finding transportation at different places. Buses connect only few routes, but are reliable and cheap.
