Use Uber to get around
It's the safest and most convenient way to move around the city if you're only there for a few days. If you're more than one person it will usually turn out cheaper than public transport. If you don't have 3G while you're out you can also come back by taxi but it tends to be more expensive. You can also use it to get to and from the airport.
