Metered taxis and ride-share services are readily available and are the most popular and fastest door-to-door options, though they cost more than public transport. Public buses run between the city and the airport at a much lower fare, but are slower and less frequent. Driving and parking at the airport is straightforward, with both short- and long-term parking available near the terminal.",
