Santiago has an efficient transport system. Getting from one place to another is not an arduous task. Actually it is quite easy, fast and, usually, very safe.

The public transport buses are yellow. The Santiago dweller calls them "micros", and they are identified with a number that they display at the front. This number indicates the route they take. As for taxis, they are black with a yellow roof. They ply the streets all day and they are equipped with meters.

The "metro" (subway or underground) is the star transport mode. It operates from Monday through Saturday from 6.30 a.m. through 10.30 p.m., whereas on Sundays and holidays the timetable is 8 a.m. through 10.30 p.m.. Some of the stations on its three lines offer linkups with the "metrobus".

Additionally, the railroad system offers transport services to neighboring towns and cities, such as Chillan, Concepcion and Temuco. The main station is at Avenida Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins 3170.

If you wish to travel to the interior of the country, as well as the railroad and, obviously, the domestic flights, you can use the intercity bus lines which leave from four terminals in Santiago city.
