How many different modes of public transport are there in Manchester?
Quite a few! Manchester has a pretty extensive public transport system, so getting around shouldn’t be a problem. The free Metroshuttle bus service runs on three routes covering most of the city centre. It operates on Monday to Saturday from 7am-7pm and on Sunday from 10am-6pm. Then there’s the Manchester Metrolink, which runs on two lines passing close to lots of the main attractions. Taxis are available across the city too. These include both the unmistakable ‘black cabs’ and cars from private hire taxi companies. Q. Will I need to use public transport at all? Well, it’s quite possible to make it to many of the main attractions around the city centre on foot. However, if you want to head out a little further and see places like Old Trafford or the Bury market, you’ll need to use public transport.
