The Madison Metro Transit System is a good way to get around the city, although coverage is spotty in some neighbourhoods farther from the centre of town. Visitors planning to regularly travel outside of the city centre will find that hiring a car is the easiest way to get around.Drivers unaccustomed to snowy conditions should note that the roads can be treacherous in the winter and so taxis may be a better choice. However, they must be booked by phone. Ride-hailing apps, such as Lyft and Uber, operate in the area.
