You might be surprised at how much you can use public transport. Whether you're deciding where to go for a day out with friends, or trying to find somewhere to research your coursework, have a think about where you can get to by public transport.
Travelling in your local area
You can use the online journey planner to plan your journey from start to finish - so if you're going to a friend's house, you could plan your journey starting from your post code and ending at theirs.
If you're thinking about travelling on foot or by bike, there are also tools you can use online to help plan your route. Have a look at the information on walking and cycling on the Travel South Yorkshire website.
Travelling into town
You can check bus, tram and train timetables online to help you plan your trip into town.
Planning a day out
If you're planning a day trip, take a look at the information on days out on the Travel South Yorkshire website, or if you're off to the countryside, the Travel South Yorkshire website has information on getting out to the country.
