Public transport in Ljubljana
The city has a decent bus network, provided by the LPP. The service is paid with the Urbana card (available from vending machines on bigger bus stops, where you can also refill it) which now exists also as a phone app (Android only): the cost is 1.2 EUR per ride (within 90 mins, includes bus changes). Google maps does a good job with the public transport.
Taxis are reasonably cheap (about 1.5 EUR/km on average ), the fares however vary quite a lot depending on the company. As a general rule, companies with taxi cars having stickers on the doors are (much) cheaper.
