Monthly passes are also available, and their prices vary based on whether someone is a student, a pensioner (a person who collects a pension, most commonly because of retirement from the workforce) or whether their workplace subsidizes their transport cost. Busses and trams come through every 5-10 minutes, and the network runs 24/7, though night lines might only come once an hour.
There are also plenty of taxis and bike lanes in Zagreb, and biking is a very popular way of getting around, especially if the weather is nice. One of the big differences between Zagreb and a city like New York City is that bike lanes here use a marked off portion of the sidewalk rather than the street. One of the reasons is that much of the city has wide sidewalks that can accommodate both bike and pedestrian traffic. Also, bike tires could get caught in the tram tracks which are present on many streets. Walking is also popular, and the entire city is built to accommodate pedestrian traffic. On a nice day, going for a stroll to the local market, the city park (Maksimir) or one of the city's two lakes (Bundek and Jarun) can be very relaxing.
Getting around Zagreb is a very easy and liberating experience. Knowing that I can quickly and cheaply get anywhere in the city at any time without having to plan ahead gives me an enormous sense of freedom and peace of mind that is hard to replicate elsewhere.
