Transport
Central Cairns is compact enough to explore on foot. Visitors
tend to congregate around the Esplanade and city centre, where
there are plenty of taxis and bus stops. The public buses cover
most areas with reasonable fares, services being less frequent at
night and over weekends. The city's 'Sun Buses' run from a central
transit terminal and maps and timetables are freely available from
hotels and other tourist establishments. Black and white metered
taxis operate day and night from ranks throughout the city, or can
be flagged down in the street. Car hire firms are plentiful for
those wishing to explore further afield.
