Bus transportation
You can also easily use the bus service. Timetable information can be found on site or on some websites without any problems.
Taxi
There is also a taxi in the city. You can call him only on the street or in the places where the taxi is usually standing. For us Europeans, it is a relatively inexpensive way of transport, and taxis are on every corner. However, it is important to arrange the price in advance, otherwise, you are at risk that your local taxi drivers will get you more money than you would like.
However, we recommend that you use the UBER application, where you have the first free coupon for free!
