Hints & Tips

Using Public Transport

Catching a Bus

Many of our host families do not live in the city centre. They live in residential housing estates on the outskirts of the city. Students must take a local bus to the city centre. Although the first journey is daunting, it is quite a simple process once you know the system.

Students can buy a return ticket or a better value ticket called a “Weekly Mega-Rider” which costs approx £12 for 7 days travel.

Take note though, you may have to extend your arm to ensure that the bus stops for you!
