Getting around in Athens, OH

Bus

Athens Transits provides local bus service for citizens and students that reside or attend Ohio University. Be sure to give the exact amount because drivers do not give change.

Walking

Walking may be the best way to get around in Athens, due to the fact that most of the shops, restaurants and many of the city’s other attractions are conveniently located within walking distance.

Car

Due to the fact that Athens is a very `walkable` city, a car is not necessarily a must, when it comes to getting around. However, if you plan to explore the nearby surroundings or you’re in town with business and plan to travel outside Athens a lot, during your stay, renting a car might come in handy.
