Get around Bournemouth
Bournemouth is small enough to walk around, but local bus services operate frequently within the city centre. Bus services are generally good (particularly in the East-West direction), but there is a wrinkle: the city is served by two companies who do not accept each other's tickets.
They are the "yellow" Bournemouth buses, whose service extends to Christchurch and the east; and the "blue" Wilts and Dorset buses, whose routes extend more to Poole and the west. The main termini are at the rail station and the Square.
Taxi services in Bournemouth are cheap for short journeys, with an initial charge of approximately £2. It is best to call for a cab rather than to queue at a rank near Holdenhurst for the best fare.
The station is a hike (10 or 15 minutes, uphill) from the centre, so consider transport.
