Public Transport
Like most Swiss cities Basel has an excellent public transport network that operates frequent and reliable services throughout the urban and suburban areas. Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe (BVB) (tel: (061) 685 1414; website: www.bvb.ch) operates the city's many trams and buses. There are 10 tramlines and many more bus lines, and both buses and trams run every 6-7 minutes during the day and every 15 minutes late in the evening. Day cards and three-day tickets are available. As a supplement to the public transport network there are four ferries crossing the Rhine between the city's bridges. They are operated by the Basel Ferry Association (tel: (061) 692 7173; website: www.faehri.ch), and they travel across the river without a motor, propelled only by the force of the current.
