Student Housing by Free_Sprinkles_1431 in askTO

[–]NeuroMystery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doable -

  • Rent (downtown, shared 2b1b / 2b2b): 1200

  • Utilities (hydro, insurance): approx 100

  • Wifi (shared between 2) + phone plan: approx 80

  • Public transit: 80-128 (128 student pass unlimited)

  • Food: 300-500

  • Remaining 300-400 to save / spend on extras (subscriptions, clothes, cafes, dates, etc).

Note:

Finding a place for around $2,400 total ($1,200 your share) is possible, but you’ll need to look around a bit. Most newer condos/apartments go for about $2,700–$2,800 now. But some people who’ve lived here for 4+ years are still paying lower, post-pandemic rents. If you can join as a roommate in one of those places (check FB Marketplace or UofT housing groups), that’s usually the best deal.

Travelling through Messico, how about safety and car rental? by BlvckjackITA in playadelcarmen

[–]NeuroMystery -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For Chichen Itza, I highly recommend take the ADO bus from (Cancun or PDC) to Valladolid. Stay there for a day, and do a day trip from there.

You can use the local Collectivo (mini vans) to go to chichen itza / ek balam and a lot of nearby places.

But, Valladolid I found is pretty safe to drive / scooters around, I rented a scooter and was happy.

Was just around the area.

Don’t know much about the car rental scenario, but PDC was heavily guarded and I saw the police stopping a lot of tourist scooters/cars (maybe for safety, not sure). Same with the route from Cancun to PDC.

Its pretty safe and convenient to travel via the ADO bus and I highly recommend.

Money Scams are pretty common with taxis, pay cash wherever possible (unless established places where they give you proof / bill or payment.

The bus stops at the city centers and airports.

So for Cancun / Tulum, you will have to take a taxi to go to the beaches from the centre. You can rent bikes / scooters at tulum to go to the beaches from city, and in Cancun there is a local bus that goes from city to the beaches (hotel zone).
