Chuvash Republic Russia Travel Guide
Cheboksary's public transportation system provides an affordable and broad way to travel across the city. The city does not have a metro or tram system, relying instead on its bus and trolleybus network, complemented by marshrutkas.
An extensive network of bus routes covers most parts of the city, reaching residential areas, attractions, plus retail centers. Trolleybuses offer an environmentally friendly option, serving routes throughout Cheboksary.
