Public Transportation
The public bus network has few lines. A cheap alternative is the marshrutka, small private buses that go where the city buses do not reach and are faster. The Lviv tramway is not very well developed, although it covers about 75 km of the city’s territory.
The trams are in fair condition but can be full during rush hours. Trolleybuses are relatively new in Lviv and, usually, cover those areas where there is no tram.
Taxi
Taxis in Lviv are plentiful and they are not expensive. The approximate price is 10-15 Hryvnia.
