What's the Deal on Transport in Santiago?

The metro—even though people from Santiago hate to admit it—is really good. It works super fast. It rarely ever breaks down—almost never. It's very clean. If you have a metro card, you basically don’t need anything else to get around, because it also works for the buses. The metro-bus system does sometimes get overcrowded and packed with people, but never really gets worse than that.

Pretty much all the apps work here—and they work really well and people use them a lot. They’re kind of a standard way to get around too—Uber, Didi, Cabify. There are also lots of taxis. Unless you're in areas that are borderline rural, the entire city is connected through the public transportation network.
