That way, you donʼ’t have to wait in line. Itʼ’s the most convenient way but itʼ’s expensive. Mr. Tanaka : I see. Is there any other way to get one? Airport clerk : You could walk out of the arrival terminal to the pickup area. You will find a line of people waiting to take a taxi. The cost of these taxis will be cheaper than prepaid taxis, but you need to wait in line. Mr. Tanaka : Iʼ’d go for that one, then. I donʼ’t mind waiting in line to get a ride.
