For all you art aficionados, Art Basel is an amazing time. For commuters in Miami, however, this is pretty grueling.
Even though Art Basel officially starts today, last night's launch parties pretty much jammed up the downtown area.
This is about the time I would really like to have a helicopter #traffic #ArtBasel #ABMB

Traffic is nuts MT @MiamiBikeScene: leave the car at home, avoid gridlock & a headache #artbasel pic.twitter.com/fFPzPPQe #HowToBasel

As WLRN's Arianna Prothero tells us, this doesn't just stop at gridlock. Parking is another nightmare most of us will have to face.
@AriannaProthero arrived in #Wynwood for some #ArtBasel reporting. Her text to us: "Arrived. Hopefully parked legally." We hope so too.

In short, you are going to want to use public transit the rest of the week, if you are planning on attending some Art Basel events. Here is our trusty guide to ditching your car for Art Basel.
In case you want to use it, too: http://t.co/a8vNSr1S RT@AriannaProthero: In Wynwood. Portrait of Metromover? #artbasel pic.twitter.com/SRTMaWrR
