Taxi
The guide was updated:For visitors, taxis are the most sensible option as public transports tend to be extremely crowded, slow and petty theft is common. The most reliable taxi companies include Silver Bird and Blue Bird.
Drivers should carry a rate sheet showing the current fare to most destinations – check the fare before getting into the taxi. More sensibly, ask your hotel or restaurant to call a cab for you. Blue Bird also offers a premium Golden Bird limousine service, which can be booked through your hotel or on the company’s website.
