I'm trying to find out the answer to hired driving. It seems like a hot topic and important for getting around, but there isn't too much information or responses yet on whether it's better and safer to hire a driver, rent a vehicle, or use the bus system. As I said on another thread, I'm not too sure about the bus system. It seems reliable enough from what I read about it, but I'm worried about whether I would be able to get around from place to place in a short period of time. If not, then I'd really have to either rent a vehicle or hire a driver (limo, cab, or any other type). If you find out more, please post back and let me know.
