There are cars, taxis, bikes, buses, trams, trains, subways, motorcycles, planes, helicopters, submarines, ships, yachts and the list goes on. After many years of traveling, I’ve discovered that I have a fondness for certain modes of transportation over others. Fortunately, living in Mérida allows me to enjoy my favorite modes of transportation and explore new modes of transport as well. Below are my favorite ways to get around Mérida, plus a local mode of transport that I would love to try!
What is your favorite mode of transportation and why?
With a population of over 1,000,000 residents and many tourists, Mérida is a bustling city with an extensive public bus system, a plethora of public shuttles (also known as Cumbis), as well as options to take Ubers or taxis.

[Personally, I like riding my bike around town.]](https://www.reachtheworld.org/sites/default/files/media/3037/2019/10/WhatsApp%20Image%202019-10-01%20at%207.56.35%20AM.jpeg)
