Pre-booked private transferorBus 35 to the cruise terminal, by Lecar A1 and metro M2?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison.

Ends at Gate 4 of the cruise port in the northern port, not in the centre; the terminals are a walk beyond it.

The Pre-booked private transfer is quicker: 35 min against 43 min. The Bus 35 to the cruise terminal, by Lecar A1 and metro M2 varies between 34 and 68 minutes.

Pre-booked private transfer: Runs all night. Bus 35 to the cruise terminal, by Lecar A1 and metro M2: 04:25–20:10.
