City buses are run by LPP (Ljubljanski Potniški Promet), Celovška 160 (tel: (01) 582 2420; website: www.lpp.si). It operates a fleet of single decker buses on 21 routes that crisscross the centre and also cover the suburbs. Standard hours are 0500-2230 and there are also night buses in operation. Passengers can pay when boarding though it is cheaper to buy tickets in the form of žetoni (tokens, available at newspaper stands) beforehand. There are also both daily and weekly passes, as well as discounts for children; under-fours travel free.

Taxis can be hailed on the street or at ranks at the railway/bus station. Pre-booked taxis can be ordered from one of six taxi companies by calling 9700, 9701, 9702, 9703, 9707 or 9709.

Car hire companies have offices at the airport and at the city centre. Companies at the airport include Avis (tel: (04) 236 5000; website: www.avis.si), Budget (tel: (04) 201 4300; website: www.budget.si) and Sixt (tel: (04) 234 4666; website: www.sixt.com), while in town there are offices of Avis (tel: (01) 430 8010; website: www.avis.si) and Hertz (tel: (01) 434 0147; website: www.hertz.si).

Cycling is very popular in Ljubljana. During the warmer months the tourist office organises bike tours of varying lengths. The City Hotel offers free bikes to guests, while the Celica Hostel rents bikes out.
