Getting Around
The mainstay of the Miami public transport system
is the Metrobus; however, the network is large, and it takes some
time to get used to. The fare is standard to any destination. If
you need to change buses, ask for a transfer when buying your
ticket, which costs extra. There is also an elevated train service
called the Metrorail, which connects North and South Miami with
stations at one mile intervals, and an elevated monorail, the
Metromover, which offers great views of downtown Miami and Biscayne
Bay and connects with buses and trains. Most visitors, however,
take taxis or hire a car. This can be more convenient, as the city
is sprawled out over a large area. To rent a car, the driver must
be over 21, have a valid credit card and, if from abroad, hold a
passport and English language driving license. Local drivers can be
aggressive.
