So today I want to talk about free stuff. Raise your hand if you don’t love free stuff! and those free stuff are for everyone to enjoy:
Free transportation:
As I mentioned in my post about the Best apps to use in Miami Beach we have an amazing option for absolutely free transportation which is a TROLLEY.
Sponsored by the government of City of Miami Beach this transportation option is available for everyone. of course other places in Miami also have their trolley but nothing compares to Miami Beach one. Trolley starts operating at 6 am (8 am on Sunday) and goes continuously till midnight with 4 different main routes and 3 different loops for South Beach route only, you can get anywhere on it. It is completely free and it has free WiFi and AC.
you can download an app and see live updates on trolley location
Freebee is another option for free transportation however you are encouraged to leave a tip to your driver.
Freebee runs small carts that are running on clean energy as they are electric and they will transport you all around the city of Miami Beach as well as across the bridge to Downtown, Midtown, Wynwood. You can request a pick up from the app. just remember they work on tips.
