My favorite way to get around Tallahassee is to use the bus! The Seminole Express/StarMetro bus system is very user friendly and easy to get around to all of your favorite spots in Tallahassee. By using the Rider app, you can see the bus times in real time and see all the stops on each route. I love that you can go so many different places including the mall, local parks, and tons of stores.
