Getting around Sheffield

Sheffield’s public transport system is made up of bus, train and tram services.

Sheffield’s Supertram has four tram routes covering the main transport corridors in the city. For many visitors to Sheffield, trams are the easiest way to get around although the coverage isn’t as extensive as the bus. A one-way tram fare costs between £2.50 and £3.40.

Buses operated by Arriva, First and Stagecoach provide a good bus service in the Sheffield area. The maximum bus fare is £3 and there is a range of travel passes available that will often work out better value if you plan on taking more than two bus or tram journeys per day.
