Consejos para la ciudad
Formas de ahorrar
Use the train!
The train is a reliable, comfortable, and cheap way to get to Downtown for ~$7 per day. It's safe and way less noisy than the old carriages in Boston, New York, or Chicago. You won't have to pay for gas or parking also. Just check the schedule.
