Some stations have stairs and limited elevator access. In this case, we recommend the bus or a taxi, especially if you have a stroller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I pay by credit card?<\/strong> Yes, ticket machines accept cards. The express bus also accepts card payments. If paying cash, make sure to have exact change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Should I book a taxi in advance?<\/strong> No need, taxis are always available at the official ranks, day and night. However, you can pre-book through local taxi apps if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is there a free shuttle between terminals?<\/strong> Yes.
