Malibu travel tips
Malibu’s main public transport options include a public bus network called the Big Blue Bus or metro train lines. Both the bus and metro are affordable transport options, but if you are planning on traveling to surrounding areas while staying in Malibu, we recommend renting a car as the city is quite spaced out. However, if you’re looking to stay in a neighborhood in Malibu that is close to all the attractions of this small coastal city, we recommend staying near the Pacific Coast Highway, also known as Highway 1. Point Dume Village is also a very central area which is close to a lot of public transport.
