Getting to the city
The cheapest way into the city is usually the bus or shared shuttle from the terminal, although schedules can be sparse late in the day. Taxis and ride-hailing cost more but remove uncertainty, especially with luggage or a late arrival. Walk only if your accommodation is genuinely close and you are travelling light. Check the return trip at the same time, because the last services often end earlier than visitors expect.
