What to do next
A practical answer should leave the traveler with a few moves they can actually make before the trip or at the point of friction.
Check arrival time, terminal, luggage, hotel district, and whether payment and mobile data already work.
Use hotel pickup or taxi when the first night is late, wet, crowded, or unfamiliar.
Use metro or rail only when the last train, transfer, station exit, and walking distance are easy to read.
