Kanawha Valley Regional Transport Authority operates around 24 fixed bus routes seven days a week, however some of these routes do not run on public holidays and Sundays. Schedules vary, but the system runs from about 4.30am to 1am. Flat fares are $1.50 and day, month, and value passes are also available. Visitors can also use the Amtrak Railway to get in and around Charleston. Taxis are available in Charleston, however they must be booked by phone as they are difficult to find on the street. Hiring a car is the easiest way to get around Charleston, and a good idea for travellers planning to explore outside- of the city centre.
