The fare is the meter's, not a fixed price: read the yellow sticker on the rear right window, and ask the driver for an estimate before you set off.

The driver may not charge more than the meter shows and must give a printed receipt; without a working meter you may refuse to pay.

Four fit in an ordinary taxi. Five to seven need an XL minibus on its own meter, or two cars.

Between 00:45 and 05:20 this and ride-hailing are the only ways into town.
