Are local buses, trams, trains or taxis safe and affordable?
You definitely need your own vehicle here! Taxis are unmetered and very expensive. - Aug 2019
Taxis are generally safe, negotiate the rates ahead of time as there are no meters. The “ZR†taxi buses are insane and drive with no concern for others, however, some people do use them. - May 2018
Yes, taxis, but negotiate price BEFORE you start the trip--there are no meters in taxis. - Jul 2016
No trains. Buses are available, but I have yet to see a published schedule. Taxis are safe, but it is best to get a recommendation, as prices and reliability vary. - Mar 2013
no way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Nov 2011
Buses are crowded and in my view, a little scary. Taxis seem safe, moderately expensive, but not easy to find except at the airport. - Jun 2011
Taxis are safe and reliable, but expensive. Local busses vary - there are official govt. busses and private ones. All can get very crowded, sardine crowded, and the routes are hard to master for all but the most seasoned. Don't count on local transport -- bringing a car is a must. - Dec 2010
