Taxi Cabs – They can be convenient when leaving your hotel and going a short distance, plus they’re easy to find. Taxi’s can be a good way to get around, but be careful – know where you’re going and how you would drive. Ask your hotel for best directions to your destination. Keep in mind that you might get a cab driver that does not speak your language. Frequently taking a side street is the fastest and shortest way from one fair to another. Also if traveling from Miami to Miami Beach look for others that might be interested in sharing a cab. It’s also a good way to meet people.

The Miami-Dade Transportation System is really good and we recommend using it when in Miami. Use taxi cabs when going short distances and use the free shuttles when traveling between Miami and Miami Beach.
