SO, what makes you say bus stops are dangerous? ALSO, the only places that are dangerous and anything crime related can occur are GHETTO areas. How do you know that she will be in any ghetto surrounding going back from Miami Beach to Miami? First of, in Miami Beach no worries AT ALL, than all that is left is to see where in Miami she lives or will be getting off the bus. If she lives in the ghetto, I'm positive she knows how to live in the ghetto and what to and not do. Where to walk, where to and not go, how to be aware of her surroundings and everything else (she is probably known in the neighborhood so they won't mess with her, that's how it is). If it's in a nice neighborhood, than no worries. So, I don't see how you are recommending her to NOT go on a bus.

Where in Miami are do want to get off? where is your destination? I know you said "city" so I would guess somewhere Downtown, but you could have just said "city" to mean just Miami because it is a CITY.
Miami's empty CBD isn't somewhere I'd want to be late at night. Transiting the CBD is pretty much a given from Miami Beach regardless of destination

Even besides that, taking public transport long distances is going to be tough. Not to mention you're not going to want to be in that position where the end of your workday is pushing up against the last bus home for the night...

Actually, Miami Beach is really inexpensive. A LOT cheaper than you might think, sure was WAY cheaper than what I imagined before finding out how really inexpensive it is. If I didn't live in Miami, Miami Beach would be the obvious choice .

When are you planning on moving over here?

Depends...most of the clubs are on Miami Beach, lots of other nightlife all around the area though.

You need a car here if you plan to work in the late hours for your personal safety. You don't want to be at at bus stop in the late night hours. Chances are you will be by yourself in a dark street waiting 20-30 minutes for a bus. The metro stations are not that safe either in the late night hours. You will see that your coworkers will get concerned and probably even offer a ride home.

Don't do it. Take driving classes if you don't know how to drive.
