Transport in Miami
 

Hi

Hey Trevor,

IMO you will DEFINATELY need a car in South Florida. Especially if you're staying in Sunny Isles and traveling to SoBe and surrounding areas. Cabs in Miamis

i can't think of a city in the country where a car is more needed than miami.

You must have a car for Miami. South Beach would be a two hour trip by bus or a $50 cab ride.

Depending upon how fast you walk, four hours or so to South Beach.

Whoops! Don't know what happened with my previous post!

Cabs in Miami can get very expensive, very quickly. A 10 mile trip (from Sunny Isles to Sobe) can easily take you 20 to 30 minutes of travel time.

If you are planning on staying within a Mile of Sunny Isles and visiting SoBe for 1 night, then you could wing-it without a car.

But if you're going to partake in sightseeing I'd suggest you either rent a car or consider a hotel that's closer to your area of interest.

The link above is for MetroBus, which is our public transportation service. I believe they have a Night Owl bus which services SoBe --just don't know if it travel as far north as Sunny Isles.

BTW, why Sunny Isles? That's mostly a residential area.

Wink, Sunny Isles has gorgeous hotels and condotels. It isn't only residential. Plus, half the population of Sunny Isles are snowbirds:-D

That's true, Travel! The new Trump Sonesta is gorgeous, has jet ski rentals, etc. But IMO, in terms of "action & nightlife," SoBe is the place to be.
