The transportation means explained here are the ones that have more frequent services, and are thought to be most comonly used. We pirortized traveling by trains, but there can be various ways of transportations. For instance, in some cases, they have direct bus services. Also, in other cases, you may be able to get to the destinations a lot quicker by renting a car (Rentalcars.com) from the airport or from large cities.
