Best way to get around PCB...

In my opinion is motorcycle/scooter, followed by bicycle. Too bad most of these are not practical for women who are dressed up for the night and if you're worried about looking "cool (whatever that is)" riding in on a bicycle might not be it. But seriously, those are prolly the two best ways in my opinion. Unless traffic is light. What do you guys who have been there before think?

Traffic is never light!!!!!!!! if you cant ride a bike, then you can always use back street as an alternative if you have to drive..... I would avoid driving as much as possible though..... Before you get in the car drunk and think you are good enough to drive..... Look around at the 1,000 other drunk students getting in there car saying the same thing. You may be fine, but that guy next to you may not be!!!!! I know its not cool for everyone, but ride a bike!!!!

walk and stay far away from the road as you possibly can. lol

or if you know PCB pretty well, driving isn't all that bad if you take the back roads. Riding a bike or a scooter is just as dangerous as driving a car, if not worse because then you're more likely to not be seen by the 1000 drunk people driving...

there was on girl on here a few weeks ago talking about buying a mini atv online and bringing it with her on the plane... they also had mini dirt bikes and stuff. you'd look like a giant tool, but it would be fun.

Somehow I don't think a mini atv or motorcycle would work too well with a skirt. I'll try the cabs, and if anything I'll probably stick to walking. Probably be a good way to meet people just going to the bars/clubs.
