Long-distance buses between cities are the primary intercity transport - book through terminal counters or online platforms

Taxis and ride-sharing apps like Uber operate in major cities - ensure the meter is running or confirm the fare before departure

Unofficial Taxi Drivers: Unlicensed drivers may approach you inside the terminal offering rides at inflated prices. Avoid by only using official taxi stands outside the arrivals area or pre-booking through your accommodation. Look for licensed taxis with meters and official markings.

Currency Exchange Scams: Some exchange services at airports offer poor rates or hidden fees. Avoid by using ATMs for better rates, exchanging only small amounts at the airport if needed, or using credit cards where possible. Check current exchange rates before arriving.

Overcharging for Services: Porters or helpers may assist with luggage without being asked, then demand excessive payment. Avoid by politely declining unsolicited help, agreeing on prices before accepting any service, and keeping your luggage with you at all times.
