Ten Top Transport Tips

Our helpful hints should you need them.

1. Everything in the city centre is within walking distance -  it just depends how much time and energy you have got.

2. Trams tend to be quicker than buses.

3. Always buy a ticket for the trams as there are regular inspections.

4. Trams shut before closing so they won't be around for your trip back to your bed!

5. Taxis can be expensive with heavy traffic.

6. At the end of your night out use manned taxi ranks - there will be a queue but it's quicker.

7. Always check fares in taxis before you go anywhere to avoid high fees and unlicenced taxis.

8. Why use pay buses when there is a free shuttle bus service.

9. Check out transport info for your planned visits so you're well in the know.

10. Check our website before you come for news on any disruption.
