The fastest and most popular option is a taxi or ride‑share, which takes 20–40 minutes and costs more than public buses. Public bus route 109 connects the city center to the airport for a lower fare, though it’s slower due to traffic and stops. There is no dedicated airport shuttle, and driving yourself is possible but parking at the airport can be expensive.",
