Getting Around Manchester
The city center is compact enough to cover on foot, though buses will be needed for Oxford Road and its continuation Wilmslow Road, which runs to Rusholme. Stagecoach is the main operator, though fare wars are common among all carriers. Piccadilly Gardens Bus Station is the hub of the urban bus network, along with a new transport interchange at Shudehill (north of the Arndale Center) Call the GMPTE bus inquiry line 0161/228 7811 daily 8am-8pm) for details.
