Transportation
Metro
You can buy a single ticket, which includes bus fare for interconnected stations, for 700 to 800 Chilean pesos, but keep in mind that prices vary depending on the time of day, with rush-hour travel (7 to 9 a.m. and 6 to 8 p.m.) costing more. If you plan to use the metro as your primary means of transportation, consider purchasing a prepaid Bip! card instead of individual tickets. Bip! cards each cost 1,550 Chilean pesos, are usable on both the metro and buses, and can be purchased from the self-service machines found in every metro station.
Trains operate from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday; from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturdays; and from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sundays and holidays.
