How can I commute within York?

The best way for exploring the city is by foot. There are different city walks conducted across the city which give you a better overview of the city. Getting around the city can also be done by a car but it is always advised not to do so. The roads in the town are designed for carts and in case you are bringing your car, it is best to leave it in the city centre car park. Bus services connect all the major points of interest in the city but they are not that cheap. If a single person is travelling over a short distance, hiring a cab will always be a better option. York is one of the greatest cycle friendly cities in England and there is an extensive network of cycle routes in and around the city.
