The city is famous for its comprehensive Birmingham Transportation Council network that runs across all parts of the city. The Birmingham travel system is divided into many zones covering all popular city parts.
1. Trains
If you're planning on travelling by train, timetable information is available from National Rail.
Birmingham has three major train stations: Snow Hill, Moor Street (for Birmingham City University), and the redeveloped mainline Birmingham New Street station.
2. Metro
Birmingham's transportation system, which National Express West Midlands primarily serves, is efficient and comprehensive. Public transportation will take you almost anywhere you need to go, and you can plan your route using the Birmingham Journey Planner or the Citymapper app. A single fare is around £2.30, return tickets are unavailable, and a day ticket is about £4.50. On the other hand, a Birmingham student transport pass costs around £165. This is only £1.28 per day, which is a steal in the long run.
3. Bus
If you're planning on commuting by bus, the timetable information is available from Travel West Midlands. NX Bus is where you can get your student travel card.
4. Coach
If you plan on travelling by coach, timetable information is available from National Express. The nearest coach station is in Digbeth, and it is a 20-minute walk through the city centre to Birmingham City University.
