I don't know what you consider a tight budget but if I can come down a few times a year, and stay for about 10 days at a time, it would behoove me to at least consider my daily transportation costs. PEACE.
It sounds like you already know what to consider for you're transportation costs as would any experienced visitor. My best guess would be that the typical casual visitor isn't hopping taxi's all day.
