I'm a little rushed. Is there any quicker way to get there?
Yeah, of course. You can take a taxi.
How much will that run me?
It depends on traffic and distance, but it is reasonable.
Do the drivers speak English?
Some are better than others. But, you shouldn't have a problem.
Are they safe?
For the most part, yes. If you don't feel comfortable with it, then it is best not to take one at night.
