While there are various transportation options in Rio, I found Uber to be affordable and convenient.
However, if you're looking for the most budget-friendly option, consider using the city's subway system, known as the metrô.
To use the metro, start by purchasing a Giro card from the self-service terminals at the main stations.
The initial cost of the Giro card is R$10.90 ($2.19 USD), which includes a R$4.00 ($0.81 USD) deposit for the card itself and R$6.90 ($1.39 USD) loaded onto the card for rides.
A single journey on the MetrôRio costs R$6.90 ($1.39 USD).
The metro system is known for its cleanliness, air-conditioning, and safety.
That music video added these stairs on my bucket list too, and thankfully Brazil is visa-free for me with my Jamaican passport. Thanks for sharing! It sounds super doable
