Local public transport and taxis

That terminal information concerns route oversight, not a current city-bus route list or departure schedule. If you plan to use local buses, confirm the route and service details for your destination before setting out. The terminal’s public-office hours are separate from bus departure times.
Taxi fares and operating restrictions can change, so confirm the current fare and any applicable rules before travelling. If you are travelling by taxi, ask about the fare for your trip before you start.
