I hope I do not miss anything, Sorry for my english.

A single ride on the metro is 0,5 Bs.F (June 2008), but if you are planning to travel more you can buy a Multiabono with ten rides for 4,5 Bs.F. There is a long metro line going from east to west, and there is another one going from Caricuao in the southwest . Another line is going from the south, past the university.

The metro is convenient to use. There are frequent trains and they are air-conditioned. You should guard your bags though, and if you have a backpack you should carry it in the front. The metro can be very crowded, especially at rush hour. A friend of mine told me that sometimes he has to wait for the next train, or even a third train, to be able to go inside, but at rush hour the next train comes just after the other.

To move in Caraca's city, you can do it easily by subway.
It can take you to any point in the city, just be careful with the pickpocket and be aware that most of the time it is too crowded.
Schedule: From 5:30 to 23:00
