With its small city area, much of Leuven can be explored on foot or bike. A number of bus lines operate, centred on the train station and the stop at the Fochplein. Services operate out of the city to Meerdaalwoud, Heverleebos, Campus Arenberg or the hospital Gasthuisberg. A local taxi service runs around the city.
