Madison is one of the most bike and walking friendly cities in America!

If you don't want to purchase your own bike, Madison has electric bicycles available at stations through Madison BCycle 

Bikes travel in the same direction as traffic and do not go on sidewalks. Bike lanes and bike paths are everywhere in the city.

Be safe and wear a helmet!

You will need a license to drive a car or a moped in Madison.

You will be required to have car insurance.

In America, cars and mopeds drive on the left side of the road.

Many students choose to get a scooter or moped because you won't need to go a long distance in Madison.

Scooters and Mopeds must be on streets.

There are two main taxi companies: Madison Taxi and Green Cab. 

You will need to call a cab - there aren't enough to just hail one on the street.

You will also need to specify if you want a direct ride and do not want to share.

Green Cab tends to be a little bit more expensive, but more people are satisfied. 

Generally, rates are $0.25 cents per mile ($0.155 cents per kilometer) and you will need a credit or debit card to pay.

You can also hail a car from Uber or Lyft. These app-based companies may be more convenient, but will be more expensive than the taxi companies.
