| description | All the buses are modern (many low floor disabled friendly) and clean. Only drawback is they operate an exact fare only, no change system if the journey is €1.22 and you put in €1.30 then you loose the change (and most of the fares appeared to require a large amount of very small change). The only exception is the airbus from the city centre to the airport that did give change. | |

| description | Opened in 2004, this is a modern and comfortable tram system which runs from the centre of the city out to the suburbs. The only drawback is that the two lines do not connect, anywhere! It’s a fifteen minute walk from the end of one line to the start of the other in the city centre. | |

| description | Not completely reliable, on all the journeys I have taken the train has either been late or has had one cancelled, but the railway is in the process of being heavily modernised to fix some of these problems | |
