Getting Around
As Omaha is a Midwestern city that was designed primarily to be navigated by car, a rental car is the most convenient option for getting around. A fairly comprehensive fixed-route bus service is provided by Metro Transit, though travellers should note that many bus routes only operate on weekdays. In the central downtown area, walking is a pleasant option when shopping and dining in the Old Market area; attractions such as the riverfront and the Convention Center and Arena can be reached on foot. However, taxi availability can be erratic and, for sightseeing outside this downtown area, a car is best. Lyft and Uber are also options.
