Medellín in a Minute: Best Way to Get Around the City

[@jamesstrong5952]

Don't know what is cheap to you, but being a pensioner, I am always looking to stretch pennies or in this case pesos, as far as I can, without being compromising to my driver. That being said, I use indrive for most of my jaunts, but I found a rental car deal for $125 for a week in Medellin with insurance. I guess that might also be an option, at least for me it is, since I am older and a lot of walking and waiting (except in traffic) is not as desirable.

The Metro is faster during the morning or evening rush hours if your destinations are a short walking distance from the Metro stations.

Hi Loren the best (if time is important) is a UBER ,inDriver , DiDi they have your prearranged and agreed upon rate which I found to always be under a Yellow Taxi rate and the public transportation Metro or Metro cable and Bus system are very good also and super cheap ! Either way transportation in Medellin is very very inexpensive !

[@laurenlagringa]

Hi Joe! Right you are. I have found that among the four apps I mentioned that Didi in general always has the lowest prices. Another thing you can always do during rush hour is to offer a slightly lower price when requesting an inDriver and wait until someone takes your offer. Thanks for your comment! - Lauren

@@laurenlagringa yes I used Indriver alot yes . Lauren also explain the Civica Card and uses for the Metros . Its Super way to travel and less expensive when solo !!

[@laurenlagringa]

@@living_global Yes, that is super easy to get as well by just approaching the ticket booth. But to get the Civica card you would need a cédula so for tourists that wouldn't work, but yes obviously the metro is super fast, reliable, and very clean too might I add... 😊 One day I'll have to visit and make a video showing how to navigate the metro!

Medellín in a Minute? My boy "Travel Money Guy" claimed that segment, aye give em a shout and tell him MonteLogic sent you, you guys both definitely have a common interest, a collab would definitely be good!

[@laurenlagringa]

I have never heard of him until your comment but yes I'm open to collabs!

[@MonteLogic]

@@laurenlagringa hmmm So you never heard him but y'all got the same segment.?It's aight, I think you're plenty of creative already and can come up with loads of ideas!

[@laurenlagringa]

@@MonteLogic The idea was to give quick but important information and 'minute' is a pretty common word. Coupling it with Medellin, I don't think it's too much of a coincidence and somebody else could have thought of it off the top of their head too. It's not all that creative or original haha and it's not like either of us has some sort of copyright on that tag or that his segment is something well known in the expat community like Medellin Guru was for instance.
