By transit do you mean public transport? - buses / trains etc.
We're staying a couple of miles from the beach. about an hour's walk by google's estimation & it suggested a bus as it's pretty much a straight road all the way ( the 858)
It seems that there's a bus stop right by our hotel. the Broward county transit site seems pretty thorough,

initimating that buses shouldn't be an issue and that the 72 bus will take us the entire way.

I would like to understand your viewpoint on this though (as I've never been personally, so I'll bow to the expertise of someone who has!)
thanks,

If you're just using a bus to get to the beach, it's probably not bad, though kind of a pain. I've lived without a car in a city with just a bus system like this, and it takes good planning and can take awhile, especially if you miss a bus and the next is not for another hour or so. Since it's a vacation, it's better not to worry about that.
Cabs in Ft Lauderdale suuuuuuck. I think it's better to get a shittier room and be closer to the beach and be able to just walk to the boardwalk and have things to do right there. As for getting around when someplace is too far to walk, Uber is much better than cabs.
Every time I take a cab in FL, I am with a driver who is a rip-off and also wants to ask me 20 questions and act like I shouldn't be a single female traveler. One was very pushy on me about his religious views and then bitched about the baby momma he left behind in my hometown (ha, small world!). The Uber drivers I've had were much friendlier.
So stay right near the beach if you're staying in Hollywood and get Uber drivers, that's my take. It's shabby and full of old snow birds clutching tiny dogs, but it's also laid-back and has some good eats, the beach right there, etc.
