Not having a car here, I use public transportation quite frequently.

I take the metro and a collectivo to work everyday.

I avoid taking the micro because I find it's usually too crowded. But that's really just a personal preference.

Most places I go to are accessible by metro, micro or collectivo so I don't take taxis too often. I've been here for a year now and haven't had a problems with the public transportation in Santiago.
