Transport: Cardiff has a reliable and extensive bus service that usually
operates between 5.30am and 11.30pm, with limited weekend and
public holiday services. Fair zones are colour-coded, and exact
change is required. Many discount passes are available. The train
services are also dependable, and taxis are easily hailed or
ordered by phone. Hiring a car in Cardiff is easy, with most
companies requiring a licence in English with a photograph, or an
International Drivers Permit. A minimum age requirement may apply.
The city is relatively easy to negotiate, but parking is often a
problem, as many spaces downtown are for permit-holders only.
However, Cardiff is compact and easily explored on foot. It is also
flat, making it well-suited to cycling. The Taff Trail for walking
and cycling runs right through the city.
