Transport: Bristol is an easy city to negotiate on foot, with plenty of
attractions close to one another. There are, however, taxis, trains
and an extensive bus network available. While the bus service has
been criticized in the past, plans for a five-year project to
transform it, reducing congestion and improving safety, are in
place. There are plenty of car rental agencies available, though
the city centre can get congested. Bristol is a popular place for
cyclists and despite plenty of hills, the city has an excellent
urban bike route. The Bristol Ferry Boat is a fun and leisurely way
to explore the city; it offers leisure and commuter services on the
harbour.
