Getting Around
Public Transport City buses are run by LPP (Ljubljanski Potniaki Promet, Celovaka 160; tel: (01) 582 2420; website: www.lpp.si). They operate 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.
