Über diesen Tip
Local ride apps are an easy way to cross the valley when the Metro does not reach your stop. Yummy Rides and Ridery are the two most used in Venezuela, with Yango third, and they work in Caracas and other cities. Set one up before you travel, since street taxis usually have no meters and the fare must be agreed before you get in. Check the fare shown against what you expect, and keep small bills for any cash payment.
