Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

I'm off to PQQ later this week on a QF Dash-8. I'd like to take the public bus into town, but it only goes every 2 hours, so I'd have to wait an hour. Not going to do that, so I plan to use Didi. On my way back, I'll use the bus, as the schedule is more convenient to my departure ex PQQ.
I would be biting the bullet & paying for a cab or uber. Nothing to do at the airport. I can see at the moment there are 3 ubers cruising but only 1 didi.

Stay away from the taxis; IME the worst taxi service i've ever come across. I've rung the taxi company and told them there are 8 people wanting cabs; they send one! Ring again and tell them there are still 7 waiting and, 20 minutes later, they send another one! And on and on it goes. This has happened to me on numerous arrivals into PQQ. Even the taxi drivers will tell you their dispatch office is useless.

Try Uber, Didi, bus or walk; but avoid the taxis at all cost IMHO.

The taxis are not perfect for sure but a long way in front of walk, bus & didi. From my experience the QF system of ordering a cab while in flight is probably the best option available to someone like Clifford

I've tried ordering the taxis in flight but never found a taxi waiting on arrival. YMMV
