what is the going rate on taxis and/or airport bus?
Taxis at the airport are reliable, plentiful and much less expensive than the prices listed above for the relatively short trip downtown. There is a counter to the right of the exit door from the airport.

For the trip back to CNX, the Le Meridien volunteered to prearrange for a taxi to wait for me for a very small fee. Incidentally, when I emerged from the hotel to look for my awaiting taxi, other passengers were already trying to abscond with it -- I felt like I was in an Amazing Race competition.
