Transport from Shaxi old town to Dali Railway Station

what are the times direct buses depart from Shaxi old town to Dali Railway station daily?
where else in Dali the bus would stop and drop off passengers?
are taxis easily available from Shaxi old town to Dali Railway station? How long is the taxi journey and what is the cost?
Besides bus and taxi, are there any other modes of transport available, and if so, what is the journey time and cost?
Thank you
