Ukuhamba-hamba

Subway is a safe option.

Subways are a great option to get around IF there is a station close to where you are going. Rio has new, but very few subway stations.

Do not take bike for transport

Take a bike as a sight seeing option around the lagoon or at the beach. Do not take a bike around the city outside of bike lanes. Car, busses and pedestrians are not respectful of bikes.
Ukuhamba-hamba

Taxis are better option than uber.

Many uber drivers have no idea how to get around the city. Taxis may be a safer option. Waze is usually good as well, but beware not to get lost in a favela. Choose routs that take you through main roads.
