I live in Bogotá and these are my tips.
I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The only way to use public transport is to have the SUBE card in my city. This card is used for all means of transport (buses, railways and subways). If you can, you should choose to move by rail or subway because they are the fastest. You should not travel alone in a bus for a long journey. For these cases: you should combine bus and subway, or bus and train. You will get the shortest travel times. Besides, the second trip of a combination with the SUBE card discounts 50 percent.
The most problematic hours for traffic and public transport are around 8 am and around 6 pm. If you can, you shouldn’t avoid traveling at those times.
There are very comfortable public means of transport and others not so much. As well as safe means of transport and others not so much. Before using any of them, you should find out this information.
If you want to travel safely and comfortably you should choose an Uber or a Cadify. But these means are much more expensive than using the SUBE card.
Expression for my list:
ɪn noʊ taɪm

I live in Trujillo, Perú, it’s a popular city of the country, with a lot of famous places and very nice people, but we don’t have a very well system of transport, in this city you can take a taxi if you have money for it, or maybe if you don’t have a lot of money you can take a bus, but you have to be very careful with the bus that you want to take, because we have so many routes, buses with diferent colors and letters, so you have to know the destination and what bus you can take, in this city we don’t have whereabouts, so you can take a bus anywhere, if you are student, underage or you have a university card, you can pay less. The buses are usually crowded, sometimes you can sit down if you are lucky, you have to be very careful with your things, your cellphone, and your wallet, pay attention all time.

I live in CDMX (Mexico City) we have a transport similar to the red one in Medellín, it is fast and cheap but it is not enough because a lot of people use it during peak hours.
Personally, I rarely use it, perhaps 2 or 3 times in my life, my frequent means of transportation is the subway, but in recent years it has become unsafe and sometimes even dangerous due to the low maintenance budget.
So, when it is possible because the weather and the distance allow it, I preferred to walk instead of using the subway.
