description | The Green BVB and Yellow BLT trams provide links across the city with the Yellow BLT trams mostly serving the longer distances out into the suburbs. Both companies have a mix of older high-floored trams and modern low-floor easy access trams. Services are reliable and regular. Due to the number of lines through the city centre routes can be diverted at short notice if problems arise on one line. |

description | Four cable pulled ferries cross the river at various points through the city centre. There doesn't appear to be a fixed timetable with the ferries shuttling back most of the day, or callable by bell if at the opposite bank and not moving. The ferries are not part of the integrated ticketing for the rest of the public transport, but are very cheap. |
