Public transport in Manchester is efficient and affordable, the best type of public transport. It also happens to be historical, making it even better. Trams were introduced into the city way back in 1877, and the city’s Metrolink light railway remains the main mode of public transport in town. The network can get unpleasantly busy at peak times though, so do be aware of that ahead of time. There is also an extensive network of buses snaking their way around Greater Manchester. A wide variety of tickets are on offer, from standard singles to weekly tickets that will save a little bit of money if you’re planning on using the network extensively.
