Getting around the town of Leicester is straightforward. There are many travelling options. From public transport to private, choose anything that can suffice their needs from public transport to private. Public transportation is preferable, which can get them from one place to another relatively peacefully and economically.
Bus: These services operate between Leicester city centre and most other parts of the city, including the University campus. Several companies operate buses - the two largest companies are Arriva and First Leicester. The average bus fare is around 3 per day.
The annual Arriva City Student Tickets are sold by the Students' Union, which can offer savings to students who regularly use Arriva bus services.
Cycling: Cycling is fun, affordable, and good for the environment. Many students choose to cycle to and from the University. In the UK, students cycle on the left side of the road. Cyclists can use footpaths only if a cycle lane is marked.
The University campus has a 300-space secure cycle park, shower facilities, and tools to help students keep their bikes secure.
There are cycle racks at various points in the city centre and other specific attributes such as Leicester train station.
Taxis: Leicester City Council issues licences for taxi operators and carries out inspections to ensure that standards are maintained. Taxis must display their licence details, and students usually see these next to the registration plate at the vehicle's rear and inside the car above the front passenger seat.
If students travel by foot, Leicester offers well-maintained and safe pedestrian routes. Leicester's New Walk was the first pedestrian-only route in the United Kingdom, and it still provides a tree-lined walk between the University and the city centre.
