Travelling around

PLYMOUTH!

BUSES

Plymouth City Bus is the main form of transport around the city and sur-

rounding areas. The routes are extensive, but they do not run for 24 hours, so

please check the route before you begin an adventure.

TAXI

There is a broad selection of taxi firms throughout the city, with the most be-

ing found in the taxi loading area next to Drake Circus south entrance. We

would recommend requesting a quote, prior to getting in the taxi.

FERRY

There are a number of ferries in Plymouth, which enable easy access to areas

via the water. All of these areas, have bus routes at the port of landing to ex-

plore further. The ferries include: Mound Batten Ferry, Cremyll Ferry and
