Hello,
I'll be in WMC from Belgium and I'll be staying in Miami Beach.
What's the best way to go downtown ? Is there a bus service at night ?
We'll have a car but I want to drink :D
Thanks a lot! |

| the drive from south beach to downtown miami where the clubs are is about a 7 minute drive once u get on 5th to head over the bridge...traffic on south beach gettin to 5th is another story and is absolutely insane...if ur goin to downtown...get to the clubs early |

There's a bus that runs pretty late from SOBE to downtown. I ended up taking it a lot last year.
If you're planning on going to a downtown party after being at a party on sobe, you'd be wise to leave sobe about 1-2 hours before the club closes. Trying to catch a cab downtown after the clubs on sobe close is one of the most difficult things to do. |

after Armin at Pawnshop last year, we waited over an hour for the SoBe bus to show up...it was really pretty comical after about 45 minutes b/c the 1 bus would show up and tell us it wasn't going to the beach, we had to take the next bus...then that bus would show up and tell us the same thing. i think the drivers were cracked out and didn't know where they were supposed to be going cuz every 10 minutes the same 2 buses came through and refused to take anyone to the beach. it was worse than Septa in philly (and thats saying A LOT). finally a group of us, total strangers, jumped in the street in front of one of those van cabs, made him stop or hit us, and split the trip back to SoBe.
the bus ride over to Ultra on Saturday was horrible...we were stuck in pouring rain on the causeway for over an hour. if it wasn't raining so hard, i woulda jumped off the bus and walked the rest of the way faster. i ended up missing a lot of really good DJs cuz of the bus...definately leave EARLY if you're gonna take the bus.
def. don't recommend driving back to SoBe from downtown...the cops have this fancy speed trap on the causeway and no one is safe...buses, cabs, anyone in a hot car..they were all getting waved into the "ticket lane" and being busted. don't even try it if you're gonna drink...not even one.
If anyone is planning to go to Morillo for Thurs morning on the Terrace and wants to split a cab, let me know and we can meet up and save a few bucks. I feel sketched out trying to hail a cab myself at 4 in the morning haha. |
